Pros

Company has a great reputation and normally has funds that perform better than the market.

Cons

Management would have you believe that it is interested in innovation and collaboration, but new ideas are thwarted and upward mobility is limited. Layoffs of nearly 1,000 people in 2009 rattled the very foundations of trust between management and associates.

Pros

MRP and annual bonuses keep you there longer than makes sense for your growth and development.

Cons

Sr. Mgrs and Directors, at least in IT, don't know what's going on above them, therefore, have their hands tied as far as leading and directing the teams they manage.

Pros

Great benefits package. Great compensation. Great management. Great people. You really feel like you are part of a family at American Funds.

Cons

While I worked their I could not think of any cons for this company. It is just that good. This company was probably the best company I have EVER worked for. If I every moved back or found another office in my current area I would leave my current employed today. One thing I must say is that the interview process is tough and I see why they have the best management I have every had the pleasure to work with. This is not really a con since I believe this process weeds out potential employees and managers that can be toxic to its culture and you will appreciate that they make sure who they hire is someone who shares the companies vision.
