Pros

I have none for them.

Cons

I found that they just want to check the box on training you. Yes they tell you as long as you try they'll be there for you; that is a crock! I asked for help and wouldn't budge an inch. They give you the old " if you resign we won't fire you routine" if you are having problems with training. Quite a few training failures with the "older folks" a lot of you're going to struggle because of your age comments. I would strongly suggest that if you are older don't come here. They cant discriminate in hiring,but, once they got you here they'll screw you over. Ask me how I know. Just telling like it was.

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.
