Pros

The pay is very high for call center work and you will gain a lot of life experience from the types of calls you get. It gives you tougher skin.

Cons

When u started 12 years ago we could go to the bathroom, take extra time to help customers between calls and we were actually given training and rewards. Since Covid everything has gone in the trash. The bonuses have been cut, people are fired left and right for no reason, training is cancelled then your written up for not knowing the training that was cancelled, no one seems to care. Reps constantly lie and because they aren’t in the us they are held to lower standards so most of your day is undoing what has been done before you. It’s constant catch up and your not paid for taking calls in a higher skill que. I used to love it but it became too scary to stay.

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...
