Pros

started on the phones, hard work pays off, moved up and have moved around to several different departments. making over 50k with no degree. the majority of the leadership and peers are great and work hard.

Cons

if you have a bad leader then you are miserable. some business partners are awful and refuse to work as a team, specifically the training department. if you have a bad leader then they can stop you from posting out or up. they need to be more flexable with working from home.

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...
