Pros

The earning potential can be uncapped, benefits are great.

Cons

This position is a virtual sales position with little to no support from management. If you're looking for a job where you will spend more time on the phone dialing into the help desk or on useless conference calls, this job is for you. You won't receive a laptop, printer and office setup until at least 6 weeks into the job. You will have about 20 different passwords for systems that do not integrate. Formal training happens anywhere from 3-5 months on the job. Working at GCP is like being on a runaway train, departments do not communicate. Example: the underwriting department needs 14-25 days to review financials to provide a line of credit. Account setup teams refuse to communicate necessary information to aid setup. The result is a constant pressure on the salesman to continually be in contact with the client and obtain information, information that the Amex corporate office has but will not share.

Pros

Strong brand and large earning potential if you meet your sales numbers. Ability to work from home and travel into a specific sales territory. Travel perks are excellent!

Cons

Many of the "mentors" are just trying to receive a high rating in Leadership to ensure their maximum bonus and do not embody the true essence of helping colleagues. As a field sales person you are often left out on your own and do not have the support of experienced Director.
