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.

Pros

Excellent compensation, job recognition, benefits, pay raises. American Express values it's employee's and understands a company's success begins with happy employee's, and retaining it's customers.

Cons

Career development and advancement needs to extend into other areas, if one area for advancement isn't obtainable or available. Advancement should not be up to just one manager. Development and advancement should be taken very seriously and the employee's manager should help the employee to the best of their ability.
