Avantages
A Fortune 500 company and one of the 30 stocks that comprise the DJIA, American Express is a leader in the payments and travel industries. It is a strong and highly-respected brand with a unique business model that is the envy of its credit card competitors. The company is full of very smart and talented people and places a strong emphasis on work-life balance. Work culture leans more towards teamwork, not competition, and strongly focused on delivering premium value to its Cardmembers. Its global reach and presence allows for collaboration across borders and encourages diversity of ideas.
Inconvénients
American Express offers salaries that are at par with its peers in the payments industry, but not exactly highly competitive. The benefits package has undergone changes in the last few years, leading to dissatisfaction among some existing employees. The company as a whole could also do a better job at meritocracy.
