American Eagle Reviews

Pros

The benefits are awesome, pay is good, and the discount is good. They provide you with the tools to learn and offer great contest prizes.

Cons

Corporate has a bad habit of making you feel like a number and not a person. It was about who you knew not how hard you worked when it came to promotions.

Advice to Senior Management

Give people that have worked their butt off some respect. The butt kissing way to be promoted is just not cool!

Pros

Decent benefits, good location, interesting work however no growth potential, no communication, no supervision, poor employee relations, poor work environment.

Cons

rude, abusive co workers,no morale, no growth potential, pay is average, no accountability, no supervision, poor work environment in general.

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate with your staff and maybe the turnover rate won't be so high, give coworkers a chance to grow with the company.

Pros

Flight Benefits
Schedules based on seniority
high levels of responsibility
down time between flights
Lots of opportunity for growth
Stable company of all of the airlines out there

Cons

Schedules based on seniority
Pay increases with years of service more so then with job performance
unions
Some times you work with lazy people who cant be fired because of unions
hard to get in

Advice to Senior Management

Remove outside unions and if we have to have unions make them internal like jet blue

Pros

Pay is OK. OT is good. Training is good. Looks good on a resume. People are good as a whole. AE easy to get into.

Cons

The company treats you as if you are lucky to work for them. Expect the company to be first in your life. Management treats employees as a number. Flight benifits are not as good as other carriers and are hard to use at most times of the year. Poor union would vote out and would love to work in non unoin shop.

Advice to Senior Management

At least try to treat us fairly. We are held accountable for all our responsabilities. Management and HR depts errors seems to be no big deal even when they have large effect on employee.

Pros

The staff of mechanics are always eager to help you with any aircraft issue and help you understand the functions of all the systems. The maintenance operation isn't too large at most line stations so management is more involved with each individual and the day to day operation. When work demand is high, the mechanics work well as a group and in timely manner. Many aircraft parts are usually available and in stock and company supplied tools for aircraft servicing are easily accessible and ready to use.

Cons

The load of work is unevenly distributed and the manpower is unevenly staffed for each shift. Finding people to cover for low manpower is difficult because of company work time policies. Some facilities, such as hangars and parts storage, are disorganized and not maintained very well. There aren't enough work vehicles at the airport for transport of equipment and mechanics to and from the planes.

Advice to Senior Management

Let the mechanics first analyze the situation and troubleshoot the plane before rushing them and letting management decide the final verdict because it's the mechanic's name that releases the aircraft.

Pros

The ability to travel at any given time is awesome. Co-workers are working together towards a common goal and each team member all have the initiative to make a difference and improve the operation.

Cons

No regular salary increase each year. Travel benefits are limited to immediate family.

Advice to Senior Management

None.

Pros

Flexibility some times in changing shifts.
Flight and other benefits packages.

Pros

I loved working for American Eagle the best part about working there is the discount. My managers were okay and I got a good amount of hours to start. No complaints.
