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.

Great bonuses for sales. Best part of the experience there has been meeting my co workers.

Cons

High pressure from management to improve results, feel like nothing is ever good enough.
