Pros

Flight crews and trainers are wonderful, too bad they work for such an disorganized bunch of idiots

Cons

Everything is a con!!!! Pay is disgraceful!!! My college aged daughter made almost as much while in school as you will make in your first year as a Flight Attendant. Management is clueless, scheduling overuses some people while never using others. Definitely do not get hurt at work. No one will be available to answer questions, and you will do well if you get the pay you are owed, and the medical attention you need. If you think you will use the flight benefits, think again....you won't have the money for a hotel if you did want to travel, so unless you are in your 20s, with no kids, no bills, and want to stay in a hostile, or have another source of income, don't even consider it, not even short term!!!!! You will be at their mercy all month, every month until you have a line. Of course you hear all sort of false information about how long that takes. It could be up to a year, depending on your base. You will have to live in a dorm like setting, unless you want to pay more for a private room.

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.
