Pros

Amex has always been ahead of the game in the way they treated employees though some things have had to change due to financial issues. People tend to spend their entire career at the company.

Cons

There need to be more females as senior management. Louise Parent has been the only female on the senior management team for decades. She is great but there has to be more like her out there.
