Pros

Smart coworkers, efficient technology and processes, work from home and great managers. The overall Middle Market Business Development role had a respectable image in the field with customers. Typically, customers were gracious to have a local presence from such a huge company.

Cons

Working from home isn't for everyone. Learning and help when you need it is dependent on finding someone to help you, and finding someone willing to help. Everyone is willing, however, their time is valuable also. The quotas are outrageous in sales roles also. Nobody has any idea how they will reach the number, they just put their head down and pray something comes their way.

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...
