American Airlines

"It is a good place to work, benefits are mostly good, good healthcare, 5.5% 401K match for management (above average), free flight benefits, but it can definitely improve a lot culture-wise, salaries can be a little higher and there could be more promotions for women given the right talent."

"Remember to keep networking in order to advance in this company."

"Ask a lot of questions up front about flexibility, benefits, etc. "

"Communication and developing a relationship with your supervisor is important"

"If you're starting in an entry level position, it will take a long time many promotions to get to an acceptable pay grade. "

"The biggest problem was other women who think they have to be men in a male-dominated industry, and who are threatened by other strong women. This is a review of U.S. Airways"

"Good equal opportunities. Airline work is seniority bid based. If you're looking for weekends and holidays off, keep looking..."

"The women in leadership roles in my large department are a variety--some aggressive and favorite-playing, some kind and openly helpful. Management is still male-dominated, probably because flying is a "man's world," especially at a large, legacy carrier like this one. Other departments seem to have strong women who are also kind, but I think they've had to play some untenable games to get there. The board, making the largest spending and strategy decisions, is primarily men."

"The maternity leave is only up to 8 weeks and can be less, and will come out of any sick/vacation time you have acquired. I worked here for 4 years in reservations as well as customer service at the airport. Those positions are in the same Union. Maternity leave may be different for other unions. Other than lack of decent maternity benefits it is a unionized position and everyone is treated equally."
