Pros

I personally feel AMEX is one of the best organization which provides a proper work / life balance to its employees. At AMEX we adhere the Blue Box Values which sets us apart from the mass employees. Working with AMEX for the past 2years had been a great experience.

Cons

Indeed one can not get everything at one shot, there are certain small shortfalls with us as well e.g some of the staff is treated differently than the other AMEX staff. They do not get equivalent compensation and benefits as the other staff.

Pros

Paid - Vacations, Sick Time / Benefits / 401K Professional Employees who know how to act professional. When there is a reason to "party" or if they have extra money to treat their top employees - AMEX goes all out.

Cons

A lot of cliques. If you plan to move up, identify the "right" cliques and dont stay in one job too long - move around! Network, network, network! If layoff is a factor, dont relocate unless you need a way to get back home and the new location is located near your hometown. If you are relocating, chances are in 6 months your job will be shipped off shore and youll be layed off anyway.
