Pros

Pay is OK but not worth it

Cons

Poor management and planning. Opened 2 bases in Oregon, gave no support to compete against an entrenched competitor and then folded in 3 months in the slowest part of the year. 24+ people had quit good jobs and moved only to be fired. Promised other positions with a 14 day decision time and then there were next to no positions. Unexcusable behavior. Have nothing to do with this company.

Poor line management and misplaced company focus are the foundation of AM operations.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of openings throughout the company, although most, if not all, are places you would not want to live. Equipment (aircraft) are usually in pretty good shape.

Cons

Safety is more a function of programs that serve a PR campaign than actually make a positive impact on operations. They stress the need for honesty, then hang the employee for disclosure. Pay and benefits are limited to the highly inept bungling of the pilot union. To say their performance negotiating the last contract was embarrassing would be a compliment. They certainly do not serve the constituency. Management is certainly in the hurt locker with the rest of the operation. Severely overworked front line managers are the norm throughout the industry, and AM has set the standard. When a manager has no authority, and must work 80 hours a week just to stay behind by 10 hours, you create an environment of poor supervision and built in errors. The lack of trust from middle and upper management has led to a high level of micromanagement, and it appears to be a result of of limited ability, education, and understaffing due to a flawed staffing program.
