Pros

Pay is staggeringly good compared to other industries. It's a finance company, so of course they're doing well and they pay top performers (1 rating) handsomely with 20-30% bonuses - but basically you have to work two jobs worth of effort and hours to get it, so it's a bargain for Amex - effectively two head count for the price of one and a third with the rest striving for that bonus working equally as hard.

Cons

Outsourcing. You squeeze your talent so hard or shuffle them off to a vendor who then downsizes, cuts their pay, outsources their job, at the expense of the Americans in American Express.
