Pros

Great work life balance - easiest job I've ever had (including high school jobs). I have plenty of time off and little was demanded of me day to day. The way that jobs were sub divided so far down, you could be an expert in your area without being over worked. Good perks as far as give aways, holiday parties, time off, summer hours, not a strict dress code and a good place to find other, young, smart people to date.

Cons

Not actually a marketing company, very bogged down in process, not friendly to outsiders

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...
