Pros

All the time I was there, the chance for advancement was there for the taking. You just had to take the initiative to inquire and do whatever it took to make it happen, even if it was a year later. The benefits and 401 k were amazing. I had so many wonderful managers and senior leader's. I learned so much and met so many amazing people. I met a few dear people that I have been friends with for almost 20 years so I am grateful I was able to start my career there.

Cons

Once I became a band 30, an analyst, no more leave right at 8 hrs and not worry about work. Sometimes worked 50-55 hours a week. Working at home at night and on weekends. When we had product launches, sometimes had to go into the office at midnight and stay until the wee hours of the morning or be on calls all night. It was exhausting but it was your job and expected of you.

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...
