Pros

Benefits, 401-K & 6% match, great brand

Cons

While the company, as a whole, might win awards for being a great place to work, the SME division is terrible if you enjoy sales. Constant gas-lighting the entire sales team and they now issue “infractions” and dock your pay $5,000 if you get too many infractions. It is a culture of fear and capped commissions.

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...
