Pros

Sales positions are virtual (work from home). Company gives a small stipend to pay for home office set up in ADDITION to giving you computer, printer, etc. The job is a blast and most clients are excited to be working with AMEX. The company has a terrific reputation. Most people I know have been in their sales roles for years and make a KILLING while loving their work. There may be high turnover in some of the call center roles and such, but everyone fortunate enough to be with AMEX in a sales role seems to understand that this is the absolute cream of the crop as far as sales jobs go.

Cons

The consultant role has a commission cap with a more modest base salary, but it's not meant to be a long term role. Most "CBD's" (as we're called) will move into Manager, Business Development roles within 6-24 months which is an uncapped commission role. So, really the only con I've experienced is a short-term "pay your dues" kind of thing that totally makes sense.

Pros

They have fantastic pay for the position you're in, and they teach you interesting and engaging utility of modern technology mixed with legacy fundamentals. I've learned quite a bit while AmEx while getting paid more than fairly - I'd recommend a stretch here to whomever may be reading this!

Cons

The Company is huge, and at times it may take more than a little time to get recognized for your abilities and the growth you've had. There's a reason there is a "only way up is out" reputation exists for some enterprise companies...
