Pros

They have a very large base of partners and benefits that they offer to all employees to take advantage of. They promote personal growth and encourage employees to give back to the communities.

Cons

People stay with American Express for their entire career so if you're in a small office it can be difficult to move up in the company unless you are willing to relocate.
