Pros

Awesome income opportunities and bonuses Ability to work from the comfort of your home Split schedule

Cons

Lots of politics involved Opportunity for growth is extremely limited if you work from home. If your stress level is not high, this is not for you. I don't really get stressed but I have seen people cry when the time came to log in. Although they offer split schedules and opportunity to work from home, they are not very flexible when it comes to school and life. It is all about them, which is somewhat understandable. I have seen people resign because they were denied the opportunity at a better schedule to accommodate their education.

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...
