Pros

Amex is a fantastic place to learn. Best marketing education I ever had.

Cons

It's not an Us Vs Them system, It's me Vs You when it comes to team work ratings and promotions. I was there over 10 years and I was in denial that team work is how you succeed. If your an MBA going to Amex, plan your exit strategy on day 1.

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...
