      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Overall management and employee attitude that we are "professionals" and the best at what we do; - National company provides growth opportunity for those willing to relocate; - Good internal relations at operating centers;

      Cons

      - HR tends to be too autonomous and distanced from the employees, (one sometimes wonders what they're doing with their 8-hours) - Benefits have been reduced (I guess I didn't think it would happen at American)
