Pros

American Express is a good place to work due to the focus on development, good teamwork, and opportunities to learn.

Cons

The support and recognition you receive is very much tied to who your leader is. It can be a very frustrating place if your leader does not look out for you.

Pros

Has a diverse set of business units (card, travel, corporate, servicing) that offers good opportunities to explore and develop your career.

Cons

Compensation is generally lower. While the Company tries to reward it's highest achievers and contributors, the constant focus on expense management results in a generally under-appreciated pay scale relative to the amount of work that everyone does.
