Pros

The time off given is not too bad.

Cons

There is no such thing as a secure job there anymore. Jobs are being sent overseas all the time. It doesn't matter how qualified you are for a job, if you are not a friend with the hiring leader... forget it! It used to be a great place to work. (in fact I worked there for 30 years till my job was sent to India) Management cannot be trusted. There is no consideration given to long time employees for new jobs, but policy states there shoul be.

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...
