Pros

Affordable Benefits package, they really do care about their cardmembers which is refreshing

Cons

unequal budgets based on location (i.e., New York team would always have the budget to come to Phoenix and stay in the W but our group didn't travel once in over 5 years), no "local" benefits like gym stipends, experience far outweighs performance/potential with salaries

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...
