Pros

Great Company for personal development, training and growth if you are in the right division with the right manager. Company has a great reputation as a fortune 500 organization.

Cons

Limited mobility due constant downsizing, really low compensation package compared to industry standards. American Express will not promote from within and offer appropriate compensation.

Pros

Band 25s are generally pleasnt to work with despite sorry leadership

Cons

Too many to list. My biggest issue with AMEX is the fact that leadership is pretty much incompetent due to the fact that the trickle down theory of surrounding yourself with incompetent yes people that kiss your ass is pretty much the norm. Example SDL's that knowingly hire or promote people with a shaky integrity reputation just to make themselves look good and are not bright enough to not contradict the falsehoods that they stated previously.
