Pros

Amex is a great company to work for. I learned a lot during my 18 year tenure and met a lot of smart, wonderful people. There are ample opportunities for training and mentoring and advancement if you're able to meet the standards and produce.

Cons

Work-life balance can be tough. Although W-L is promoted, the job expectations and deliverables are very high, so you put a lot in to be a high performer. On occasion you find senior leaders who have personal agendas and who are not truly living the Blue Box Values, but are merely trying to carve a career for themselves.

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...
