Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn new functions and skills

Cons

If you don't stay ahead of the imaginary ball, you WILL be displaced. Every 6 months for the last 4 years, huge amounts of functions, departments and front line employees are being moved offshore mainly to India and Manila. If you have other options do not choose Amex if you want any sort of job security. You will eventually get the pink slip. No matter how awesome your resume or year end reviews look. It's all about saving money, amex is doing it the wrong way!

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...
