Pros

- Overall management and employee attitude that we are "professionals" and the best at what we do; - National company provides growth opportunity for those willing to relocate; - Good internal relations at operating centers;

Cons

- HR tends to be too autonomous and distanced from the employees, (one sometimes wonders what they're doing with their 8-hours) - Benefits have been reduced (I guess I didn't think it would happen at American)

Pros

Great benefits. Affordable health insurance

Cons

Stagnant growth. They only focus on leadership development or licensed trades. Growth is based on friendships. Skills and experience don’t mean much.
