Business Outlook
Pros
Your leader is likely going to be evaluated by their ability to develop a winning team - career development, especially internally, is a very transparent process - your current leader will be working with you to help you identify your next internal role/promotion. From a worklife balance perspective, American Express is very flexibile with telecommuting and with providing a generous amount of time off, including 4 extra summer flex days.
Cons
You are not going to make as much money as you might at other financial services companies. There is a fair amount of politics that goes on in terms of how work gets done/access to information and people, but that's likely true for most large companies.
