Overall, good company to work for

Pros

The Phoenix campus is pretty laid back compared to the New York campus. Most people are pretty friendly and teamwork is pretty solid.

Cons

The benefits and salary are not that great. There is also a challenge if your senior management is in the New York office of getting your work recognized.

Pros

Management at all levels is extremely respectful of employees and each other. Voices are never raised. Everyone has a seat at the table and an opportunity to contribute, no matter what their level. Amex encourages staff to move from group to group so that you have the opportunity to learn all aspects of the business. This is a great place to work!

Cons

Absolutely the only downside I can think of is that it's a long, cold walk from the subway during winter. For those who take the ferry, it's a short, cold walk.
