Pros

Great brand name, compensation is decent for the position, large opportunity for growth

Cons

Office culture is awful. Bogus HR reports, endless politics, passive-agressive leadership, affirmative action hiring up the wazoo. Selling takes a back seat to daily webinars and meetings which don't help your sales.

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...
