Pros

Great pay , plenty Paid time off , generous bonuses ,work from home

Cons

Chaos . Training was poor , did not support the work we had to do . Most consultants had no prior travel agent experience. Fixing other agents mistakes would take hours. That effected the metrics of call handeling time,. What a disaster. .I felt sorry for the card members who’s vacations were ruined by mistakes Amex made . I finally had to resign . The stress was too much. Reaching out for help was dismal .no support . My team leader could not help me with anything

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.
