Pros

amex is a good place to start to get solid work experience and an in-depth background on database marketing. It's also a good place to cut your teeth managing people (often interns) and networking.

Cons

It can be very political. The commute into the city is not for the faint-hearted! if you're coming from the NJ suburbs or outer boroughs.

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...
