Pros

Company does take a lot of interest in the health and success of its employees. A lot of money and effort is spent on training employees and helping them have the career path they desire while there.

Cons

Between the many layers of mid and senior management, inter-department grumblings and red tape, and a workforce overrun with self-serving employees, I found Amex to be one of the least healthy employment environments I experienced in New York. I would not recommend it to a friend.

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...
