Pros

Great colleagues, The directors are collaborative on the west. All directors were new to the job in 2010 and they all embrace change and worked well together.

Cons

Commission plan is flawed. The quotas continue to change and the OTE for the field does not promote the correct habits. You are paid 6-8 weeks after the quarter ends. Resources are in short supply and the operations team are short handed so you have to wait 8 weeks before you get an implementation team. The sales ops and Sales teams are paid on two plans

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...
