Pros

At this moment, there is nothing good about this company for me to mention.

Cons

This company's absenteeism policy is not just stringent; it's downright detrimental to employee well-being. While the policy technically allows for medical leave, it institutes a punitive system that penalizes employees who utilize this fundamental right to prioritize their health. The threat of a formal warning and placement in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) merely for taking necessary medical leave creates a culture of fear and discourage employees from seeking the care they need.

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...
