      Pros

      I'm grateful my salary from American Express still pays the bills (for now).

      Cons

      American Express is probably experiencing its toughest challenge in its long history. We gave out too much credit and are still being hit with huge losses because of it. Our leaders overreacted and have now not only stopped issuing credit almost completely, but also started paying existing cardholders in good standing to cancel their accounts. Now we make almost no money. What this has meant for employees is layoffs, pay cuts, longer hours as our numbers dwindle and low morale.

      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.
