Pros

Good pay. Loved the people I met. In a good location. I feel Ken Chenault is a good CEO for the company.

Cons

It was misleading to not be told during the interviewing process that being hired was upon contingnecy during training. You aren't really hired. That information could have helped me make a better decision beteween the 3 jobs that were offered to me to provide for my family of 6. My class didn't find out until we started signing paperwork to actually go on the training floor. A very stressful environment to be in for 2 months. No longer there after training.

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...
