      Pros

      None that I can think of at the moment

      Cons

      - Zero work-life balance, constantly working on weekends - Misleading PTO policy (Federal holidays require you to use PTO, despite most of the business and even facilities being closed on these days) - PTO policy actively discourages taking PTO - Limited "perks" - Doing *anything at all* requires extensive levels of approval and on-boarding

      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...
