American Airlines

Decent pay and isolated opportunities.

Very limited career advancement, with a very limited number of openings, and no gradation of employment levels. Everyone is looking to get unicorn positions.

Mediocrity is encouraged, and the culture is a paranoid, PC-minded whack-a-mole game for anyone looking to do good work with a motivated, pre-millennial, can-do attitude. Others in positions higher than me are also miserable for the same reasons, so the misery goes from bottom to top.

There are just too many details to provide here; this is a sad place. Many of the openings are filled with contractors, and most jobs are going to Dallas. Many positions are filled with contract-to-hire, who are then converted to full-time, while full-time employees cannot apply to these jobs.

Get rid of middle management who are obviously collecting paychecks and producing nothing.
