Pros

Amex gives most of their employees the flexibility to work from home as needed. Now that I don't have that anymore, I really miss it. They also have great programs such as summer flex days and to buy vacation time. It is also in a wonderful location - right by the Statue of Liberty. They also have set up the organization structure so that the administrative staff is not overwhelmed.

Cons

The biggest elephant in the room that no one really talks about is that the administrative staff are not included in bonuses. These people really work hard for their leaders and need to be included. We even set up these compensation meetings only to be excluded.

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...
