Pros

- Employees are treated with respect - Good work life balance

Cons

- The mid-level leaders (VPs, Directors) just do things to please the senior leaders in the NY HQ. There is no initiative to do anything innovative or creative beyond meeting short term profit goals. - LOT of politics. Promotions are strictly based on favoritism and tenure. - Ancient technology and systems - Most people hate their jobs. Creates an environment of low morale and high turnover. - Low pay

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...
