Pros

Great training program, the name is well respected throughout the industry, especially the marketing function. Few better places to start

Cons

As with any large company there was a large bureaucratic management structure that really inhibited fast innovation. To be expected though

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.
