      Don't believe everything they say in the interview.

      Pros

      The competitive pay and good benefits package were definitely a factor in helping me decide to come to work for American Express. The office location is convenient so I don't have much of a commute.

      Cons

      The job is not as it was described in the interview. Technical skills they were looking for, and that I said I was looking to use, are not needed so not being used. Had I known that most of my time would be spent taking minutes and doing status reports I would not have accepted the position. I am looking for more challenging work elsewhere.

      Pros

      Focus on leadership development and the quality of the people. The brand and customers are outstanding especially for a marketer. The internal alignment helps keep the organization moving together.

      Cons

      Financial Services are challenging in this environment. Budgets are tight. But when things turn around this will continue to be a great place to work.
