Pros

The relationships you can make. Their ideas on growth and change that comes from corporate after their wake up call in the 80s.

Cons

They frequently lay off people and move jobs to India. They did it every two years I worked there. They will check you for Garments before they interview you. A manager checked my shoulder by touching me inappropriately before an interview. They hire bullies as managers and a manager have called me a loser to my face. They left my employee file out in the open. Other employees read it.

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...
