Pros

If you're in any other department besides Business Travel, you're good. The company values having a work/life balance however this is not the case for Business Travel Finance.

Cons

Business Travel is the absolute worst department. There are no benefits to work in this department. You just get work very hard with little compensation.

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...
