The company has completely spun off from American Express, but is still a fortune 500 company. It is the second largest financial firm in the country in terms of the number of advisors in the country. They have been around for over 100 years and was originally known as Investors Diversified Services (IDS).
I always tell people that it's not the company, but the advisor you work with that matters most.
Make sure to work with an advisor who has some good experience, education (license and designations) and who you trust to place investments with (spends time with you explaining risks , alternatives and fees)

Sure.
They were formerly known as American Express Financial Advisor Group.
As with any financial organization, there are some good folks and some bad ones. Just make sure you're comfortable with the person you are working with.
