Pros

Short Term Experience is all that is available here. If your looking for a career in ground operations or operations control go elsewhere.

Cons

There is much to say for AAWW as it began in the 1990's. AAWW had filled a very unique nich in the Aviation that was well needed. AAWW built its name as a top level ACMI Carrier. Today however that nich is all but lost and AAWW is struggling to maintain its leverage in several new areas of the industry. From Aircraft Leasing (Titam Aviation) to Military Contract flying, AAWW has 4 main core business areas: They are Military airlift, A Boeing Contract to fly the 767 Dreamliner parts worldwide in Boeing owned 747400-LCF Aircraft, 2 B747 passenger jets owned by SONAIR flying parts and passengers to Lunada, Africa, 1 true ACMI Contract, and 51% ownership in Polar Air Cargo. Reality Check:: Polar Air Cargo is completely run by DHL who initially sough a small part of the PAC Fleet. Today DHL Commands the Polar Air Fleet and is slowly making its way onto running the Atlas Air Core Fleet. DHL is no longer a silent partner, rather the driving force behind the companies so called growth. AAWW and PAC are dying brands, soon to be recovered soley by DHL as Upper management maintains their insider trading games and get rich in the process. DHL has infiltrated the American domestic market thru such companies as AAWW, Southern Air Cargo, and , others once profitable with ACMI. Don't be fooled however, Atlas Air will not be around much longer.

Pros

Beautiful campus and facilities with on-site gym, full-service cafeteria, health center and starbucks station. Good benefits package and competitive compensation package.

Cons

Long hours with no flexibility. Company does not foster personal growth or education and it's a sink or swim mentality. People climb up the corporate ladder off the backs of others.
