Pros

Pay and bonuses are great, flexible time off, get to work from home.

Cons

Currently looking for another job mainly because I am so bored. The calls are back to back with mostly upset customers. Usually get about 30 calls an hour and it makes the days seem so long. Also the breaks are so short. So much relies on the customer surveys and it makes my postion stressful bc TL is constantly listening and trying to find a way to get excellent surveys. Hard to get excellent surveys from upset customers but there is a technique to it. Also the heath insurance is aweful. Research high deductible health insurance before applying for this job. So worried about having a major illness because I would have to pay so much money.

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...
