Business Outlook
Pros
You get to travel (on open flights)
Cons
1) The promotions are 100% political. 2) The pay is terrible. 3) American will protect its investment in its MBA employees (they get paid double) by promoting them to management level over people who are much more qualified. This leads to incompetent management. 4) Management is not aboveboard with employees at lower levels. Managers and above will talk positively/poorly about an employee and never tell the employee where he or she stands. 5) Vacation time is very limited. 6) It is more difficult to move between departments within American than they will tell you.
