Pros

Great opportunity for new graduates and empty nesters who are just looking to travel.

Cons

You'll never have a routine or work- life balance. You are only compensated for flight time, meaning a 12+ hour days and only paid for 7... Not a fulfilling job at all. You deal with the awful morale of the company and poor management. Unless you want to be a glorified coke pourer and pick up trash for ungrateful people. This is not the job for you,

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.
