Pros
Working with smart, mainly dedicated individuals; being able to direct your own career - not being stuck in a job for years on end; being able to balance work and home life depending on how you like; Amex is a great company for marketers, because in a relatively short period of time you can acquire a wide array of skills.
Cons
Compensation is not as good as with competitors - although leadership tries to make us believe it is; perception can sometimes obscure the reality - it's such a big company, you need to "become" someone in order to be noticed. It's also a crime that a credit card company won't give its employees a free card - or at least some card-related perks for free.
