Pros

Working for an airline in general can be an exciting career. Things started out this way but the consequences of the merger have made this airline almost unbearable. The pros should be and can be there but right now they are not.

Cons

Hard to travel with no seats available on flights and little to no flexibility with schedules due to company enforced changes. The travel benefit was the only reason to accept such a low paying job. Morale is lower than I could have ever imagined.

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.
