Pros

American Express has an excellent culture and enviroment. Management encourages employees to grow individually via training and/or moving to different areas. Work life balance is stressed as is giving back to the community. I always felt as if I was an asset to the organization, not an expense. That has not always been the case in my career.

Cons

Most of the workforce in NY is under the age of 40. Can be disconcerning if in an older age group. Also, in the past few years many job postings stress top grad school requirment. Experience in the company and past performance do not seem to count as much.
