Pros

Good starting pay, people are nice and leaders are generally helpful

Cons

The implementation of Blueworks, a space-saving program that crams more people onto one floor while claiming to be more efficient is ridiculous. Employees now have to reserve their desks every day just to have a place to sit, and can only leave their belongings in tiny lockers smaller than the ones I used in junior high in California.

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...
