Pros

Flexible Schedule, ways to 'beat the system', and the money for how easy the job is.

Cons

Long, uncomfortable days with no place to sit and relax, no food, rude passengers, layovers so short that it's impossible to get even 6 hours of sleep (minimum time 'behind the door' is 8 hours, which doesn't include getting undressed, unwound, and asleep, or waking up and getting ready to be at the plane an hour before we start getting paid)

Pros

There are some truly wonderful people at American. Many care deeply about aviation and have a calling for what they do. The diversity is outstanding. The industry is endlessly fascinating. You are always learning.

Cons

Sadly, the toxicity of my department after we were reorganized. It turned a job I loved into one I dreaded. And management looked the other way while a steady stream of talent exited through the revolving door. I would have done nearly anything for the company. Politics, pettiness and a "mean girls" culture destroyed morale, and the negative behavior was only rewarded. PTO allowance is cheap, making flight benefits great only on paper for your first 5 years of employment.
