Pros

It was all great until they decided to outsource employees from Mexico and fire half of the department. Then demand you pick up the pace because they fired everyone and the call volume went up and there aren't enough people to answer the calls. the employees that they couldn't find a reason to fire, yet, they make sure are miserable by changing their schedule so you do not see your family, cap your commissions, and scrutinize your metrics with a fine tooth comb so you will quit because they are done with remote. I can only believe that all the hype about Amex being a great place to work is for different departments other then travel.

Cons

Great benefits. Decent travel benefits.

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.
