Pros

There don't appear to be any.

Cons

Within the first month I had 3 different managers. The job I had interviewed for changed completely. The team I was placed in had a director who believed in laying you off if you disagreed with him. The morale is beyond awful and most people are leaving for other departments or companies. I am so completely destroyed by my choice.

Pros

Diversified and family oriented company. Flexible working hours, healthy living programs for employees, causal dressing, virtual work office and great salary. Little supervision from management, which I believe drive results and getting the job completed on time.

Cons

There is hardly any cons to share, as American Express thought very hard in finding ways to make their employees comfortable and happy. However, if I had to share something, I would would say that promotion can take time and challenging, as there are many experienced and knowledgeable people to compete with.
