Pros

Great benefits such as PTO (you can purchase additional days for a small fee), 10 free mental health sessions, great health insurance, free hotel stays, IATA certification, VTO

Cons

When i started I was told we would work with Platinum card members, sure enough they set us up for the okie doke and I actually service ALL cardmembers. For the same salary previous agents only did for one card product. Other departments do not like to assist us, impossible metrics, no one I know has received the “bonus” because of impossible, ever changing metrics. We are burnt out from call volume and having to call the hotels, airlines and other services. Wayyyy too much responsibility for a travel agent. Less about booking trips and more about cleaning messes

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...
