Pros

Can run with your own ideas. They may not necessarily be implemented, but people will listen to what you have to say. And of course, the flight benefits are one of the best reasons to work here. I do not currently work here anymore and already miss flying for next to nothing. However I am not 100% sure on how its benefits compare with the other airlines out there.

Cons

Company still has financial issues to work out - I still think AMR is way too big to go under and will survive. Sometiems hard to use benefits on popular routes that involve main AA hubs

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.
