Pros

Strong base salary and car allowances paid Commission structure is satisfactory Amex offer discounted health insurance and card products Great people to work with Leverage warm leads and work strategically on new business through the many Amex business units Strong brand behind you

Cons

Limited work life balance at times, perception is if your not in he office your not working Many challenges with their processes and paperwork, need to bring in new systems/technology to change and improve You need to become "blue box" to make it in the company. You need to know the right people to progress your career. They don't recognise or value their committed and hard working employees so limited progression if you don't play the political game and stroke egos If you don't perform you will be on a performance management plan straight away

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...
