Pros

Very staff oriented policies and procedures. Being an employee is great in American Express. From the moment you join you are taught that you are creme-de-la-creme.

Cons

It was good, but it was better to be out early as Amex does not encourage individual thinking or creativity. It programs you to be a factory worker and the brainwashing that you are the best following the best process is so great that if people have spent too long in there, they spend the rest of their lives believing it.

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...
