Pros

I'm grateful my salary from American Express still pays the bills (for now).

Cons

American Express is probably experiencing its toughest challenge in its long history. We gave out too much credit and are still being hit with huge losses because of it. Our leaders overreacted and have now not only stopped issuing credit almost completely, but also started paying existing cardholders in good standing to cancel their accounts. Now we make almost no money. What this has meant for employees is layoffs, pay cuts, longer hours as our numbers dwindle and low morale.

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...
