Pros

The culture supported: work life balance; family friendly(popular with moms especially). The prospect for growth: great place to learn the credit card business. The career trajectory: you can always go up, however, sometimes outsiders who have worked at reputable firms get an accelerated boost.

Cons

The company's business model is so strong that not much risk-taking or innovation is nurtured, nor is it required for success, since the company is essentially a well-oiled money printing machine on the scale of a large battleship.

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...
