Pros
I continue to have great leadership and career opportunities. I love the people I work with. Looking back at when I started at American, I’m amazed at how much I’ve learned, my personal growth, and the exciting work I get to do every day. I come to work thinking, “do you know who I am? Are you sure you want to trust me with all of this?!” Amazing opportunities!
Cons
Culture and bureaucracy is sometimes a drag. Depending on who your leaders are and the organization you work in, you can have drastically different professional and cultural experiences. I’m thankful for the experiences I’ve had, but many of my colleagues have had drastically different experiences. On the topic of culture, I’m sometimes amazed at how my team and I are treated by leaders around the company. I wonder if I can see myself at American long-term if the culture, personalities and behaviors of our leaders today is acceptable and does not change.
