Pros

Your last day of work

Cons

Salaried employees working at the company are subject to rank and yank type performance reviews. Management in the Financial Crimes Reporting Unit is completely inept. They hired people managers instead of people who actually know how to do the work. This place is ripe with favorites, if you aren't one, good luck to you. The technology in the phoenix office is so out of date the phones look like the original prototype for avaya systems. I could have made this shorter and just told you to picture every terrible thing you have ever experienced at an old job or your current job, roll that into one company, and that is what you get when you work for American Express in Phoenix, AZ

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...
