Pros

great environment..great people...it maybe w/in the US or an outsourcing company...American Express is a big company...one of the largest and one of best well known credit card company in the US. i always smile every time I hear card members says they love to be with American Express...because they love the service that they always got. but it is so frustrating if you hear them say, American Express is going down especially with the economy right now. i just hope, management would listen to the opinions of their card holders. i hope American Express will continue to provide the extraordinary customer care not only for their customers but also to their employees.

Cons

the metrics that we have to meet especially TBASS which is a survey for customers that cannot be controlled... and the employee suffers even if it's not her/his call

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.
