Business outlook
Pros
American Express is a large company with a great brand. There are many great people to work with and room for development. The benefits are above average and the pay is comparable.
Cons
The main negative with regards to Amex is it's method for controlling expenses. In order to meet short term targets and provide value to investors, there are yearly layoffs accompanied by separate off shoring projects. The consistency of these activities has driven down morale and made some people begin to look elsewhere.
