Pros

Benefits are great Many employees work very hard to do a good job Above average salaries for similar positions at competitors Sterling perception amongst most potential clients

Cons

No conseuqnces to lower/mid leve managers for not doing their job in coaching, mentoring and fairly evaluating staff Revolving door in sales -quotas the same throughout the country not taking into consideration geographic differences of territories; resulting in consistently unattainable quotas in many geographic territories Open door policy is a myth and exists only on paper Arbitrary decisions around who stays and who goes when downsizing takes place

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...
