Pros

Excellent parking, focused on team and employee satisfaction, they will train you to do your job and encourage you to learn more. I loved working there and most of the people are willing to help you grow in your job and as a person. 401K, pay and benefits are very good!

Cons

In the 9 years I worked there, I made it through 11 layoffs. I didn't make it through the 12th one. It didn't end there either. There are layoffs going on even now. Even though they expect you to honor your relationship with the company, there is no job stability or loyalty to the employee. If you've worked there 20 days or 20 years, it doesn't matter.

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...
