Pros

They have a very large base of partners and benefits that they offer to all employees to take advantage of. They promote personal growth and encourage employees to give back to the communities.

Cons

People stay with American Express for their entire career so if you're in a small office it can be difficult to move up in the company unless you are willing to relocate.

Pros

There is not much pressure , how learining and growth oppurtunities are very limited . Hence if you want a stable job u can jump in , but if you want to learn should not be great

Cons

Excessive work from contractors , some employees are very experienced however they dont know much abt the team or the process.
