American Airlines Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Good Salary and compensation"

"I was discriminated as my background, culture, beliefs, & ethnicity are not welcomed at American Airlines. Non equal opportunity, & ethical bias is evident. AA is not a diverse place. Seems like only certain ethnicities can thrive there. My manager said that I had to go to the AA Dallas headquarters for a week due to a team activity. However, my AA manager did not allow me to expense the business trip… ??I had to PAY FOR THE ENTIRE BUSINESS TRIP WITH MY OWN SALARY ??. No free flights. I payed for hotel, food, gas, etc. I went anyways as it was non-optional. I spent my entire week's salary to pay for that business trip. Entry level & contractors are micromanaged & spied through their work computers. When my work computer started having VPN & network issues, I reached out to IT, they told me that they flagged my computer’s IP for “inappropriate use of the internet”, although, I solely used the computer for work. There was no explanation on why my computer had an "internet disciplinary behavior infraction”. I found out that AA IT had access to my bookmarks & personal private information through my work computer. 1 of the IT employees oddly told me through the phone to access a gaming site (Battle.net), which was deep into my bookmarks' folders, in order to get authenticated & temporarily unblock my IP. I had to access that site every time. I felt like they were laughing at my face. IT said that they can’t help me because I was a contractor & not a full-time. They told me that I needed to constantly switch proxies. Everything went well the first 8 weeks. I successfully completed multiple project. However, mysteriously after 8 weeks, my VPN stopped working. The computer’s IP address & proxy were blocked. It took me hours to connect every single day, & then it was randomly unblocked. I couldn’t work for the first few hours of the day as everything on my work computer was unaccessible/unauthorized, except for calls with my team."

"Good environment, managers are calm and helpful"

"I worked for American Airlines last 6 months as a customer service agent. Because I like to help people I applied for this job and it was a great experience for me."

"I love working for American. They are a great company that will work with you when needed and has great benefits that have allowed me to raise and grow myself and my family."

"I believe in relationships and collaboration. Instead of always SPOC I like to share the knowledge and have a backup always for most of the important tasks."

"Excellent place to work and advance!"

"Helped startup with all new management and team. Was in charge of creating policy and procedure to facilitate and maintain a safe and efficient environment. Leadership was incredibly helpful in answering any questions and guiding me to the most knowledgeable individuals for any problems I may have. They were very professional and caring towards all team, I appreciated it."

"Best job on earth! I’ve loved every second of being a flight attendant."

"One of the highest paying mechanic jobs you can get. Starting pay is $32 an hour and top out is Just under $60 an hour after 7 years. Health benefits, free-flying benefits, 401k that’s if you put 5% the company will put over 7% of their own money. Overtime is paid as double time and a half so 2.5 times your normal hourly pay. Includes holiday pay and anything over 40hrs a week. Pay is bi-weekly. AA Credit union is really good too. Paid sick time rolls over every year until you hit the cap of 1,300 sick hours. You also get 5 weeks of paid vacation time per year once you have enough seniority. If you’re a hard worker, well-spoken, knowledgeable, willing to learn, never late then is this a great company to work for."

"They do not support you truly."

"I have worked for American Airlines for 2 years and loved every second."

"The company is a great place to work. The culture has changed over the years and become more advanced. Despite the difficult times that airlines experience, the company is trying to do their best to work with employees."

"I been working with American Airlines for five years plus. I was able to learn the airline industry as well as how the history of a ticket develops. I was able to apply accounting principles with the help of a well-known system called IBM. In addition, I was required to assist in side projects along with my daily job task. Which encourage me to continue my learning as well as working in this amazing company."

"AA is a excellent company to work for because they have many opportunities and many great co-workers. They work to help you reach your career goals."
