Pros
There are some great leaders, great teams, good benefits, lots to learn, and can be exciting place to work.
Cons
Be forewarned, do your homework. 1. Regardless of the company, ask about the leader's actual management style and vision, as well as, that of senior leadership, 2. Ask for a clear picture of the company's path to greater and sustained sales growth (nationally & internationally). Look at the "value" partners (present and near-term). Read recent business and financial reports to get a full understanding. 3. Since 2013, American Express has had significant layoffs with many jobs being shipped offshore. 4. Recently updated physical work environment (Bluebox) is comprised of long open tables with loud background noise. It may not be to your liking. Make sure you check this in advance.
