Pros

Work-life balance. Nice cafeteria. Not many nice things to say.

Cons

Management in the FXIP Division is absolutely clueless. The Company cannot compete with small "mom and pop" shops. They have hired some guy in Omaha to run the NY sales team??? Moral is at an all-time low and everybody is looking to leave. An entire division has resigned within 2 months and everybody would leave for less money if given the opportunity.

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...
