Pros

American Express has great benefits, including decent health care, sick time and lots of paid vacation time. Team leaders, management and higher ups are all very nice and great to work with. This positions is also work-at-home which is a great option for those who can manage an in-home office.

Cons

Incoming calls are continuous, and there is not a lot of down time. Calls can become repetitive with similar issues and inquiries. The job can be stressful when customers complain.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
