American Airlines reviews

Many many cons. 1. Poor pay - no raises, and no promotions anytime soon, always blamed on COVID. It's a valid excuse but only works for so long. 2. Middle managers are afraid of upper management, upper leaders will say jump, middle managers will say how high instead of questioning anything their leaders say. 3. Upper leadership is incompetent, no business running an airline. Operationally the airline has always been terrible due to terrible management decisions (departure numbers, furloughs, etc). Every time management comes back with a new "solution" and its the same stuff they did previously under a new name. What's the definition of insanity? 4. After a year and a half of successful WFH, the company wants everyone back with no flexibility. Be prepared to lose a ton of talent - two years with no raises, promotions, and no flexibility doesn't lead to many people staying.

Leadership has their own agenda and if you 'push back' or go against the status quo they will let you know. They do not listen to their employees on what they need, nor do they support mental health and the need to work from home or have a day off. You get 2 days working from home a month - no more - no exceptions. Use them wisely. Management is not supportive or knowledgeable of what the 'worker bees' do and need to find a common ground vs 1 way or no way. Very manipulative and deceiving management tactics. Very micro-managing with no room for explanation. Trusting your employees and listening to the voice on the skills you hired them for will result in a better holistic work-life balance for everyone.
