Pros

Always allowed a lot of overtime if you wanted it. 1 good supervisor that actually cared and understood the operation. Very good spot to start out as a amt and learn the ropes. Ability to go on road trips. Good team work usually. Personal tablets make going through work very easy.

Cons

Terrible management often toxic methods of communication and actions. Common petty actions from management for small mistakes often treating you unprofessionally. Content revolving door of new hires and people that have been there 1-2 years often leave once they’re contract is up because of management and pay or getting better opportunities from main line aviation.

Pros

1. Incredible work-life balance. The team is incredibly collaborative and there to help out. There are plenty of opportunities to take ownership and step in where you would like to make decisions backed by data. Everyone understands life outside of work is real and is not just accommodating to it but encouraging prioritizing that. 2. The autonomy given to employees to do their job as they see fit is incredible. 3. Travel benefits. I went to London last weekend to watch a soccer game for the cost of taxes.

Cons

1. Corporate red tape. For being under the American Airlines umbrella, I would've assumed we would be more established. It feels like a startup in some ways with the red tape and scissors being held by American. This just slows things down. 2. Vacation days lag behind the market. Other companies have 4-5 weeks or unlimited PTO. For a company that runs on business travel and vacations, I would've thought that the emphasis on the need to vacation would be higher as you get 10 days to start + 2 jetaway days (floating holidays) + 4 days of personal time (meant for appts and sick days). 3. Salary expectations not met. However the room for growth within the company counters this.
