Pros

Proud to be working for AMERICAN EXPRESS, good perks, many different departments/divisions you can work for, excellent appreciation for work/life balance, great leaders/execs who are accessible and easy to talk to.

Cons

For admins: minimal chance of promotion without an ivy league mba, the workload is ridiculous, the amount of work you do for the compensation you receive makes you think twice about your future there.

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...
