Pros

Committed to excellent customer satisfaction, eroding, but better than average benefits suite, including tuition reimbursement, company matching 401K options, profit sharing, good culture, business casual dress code, and room for all sorts of lateral movements. You get bored or feel like you are 'maxed out" in a role, move on ad learn something new.

Cons

Several reductions in force over the years, and have now closed operating center in North Carolina, or I'd probably still be there. A little less than stellar salaries, but I made conscious trade-offs there due seniority and vacation to be fair.

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...
