Pros

Great pay , plenty Paid time off , generous bonuses ,work from home

Cons

Chaos . Training was poor , did not support the work we had to do . Most consultants had no prior travel agent experience. Fixing other agents mistakes would take hours. That effected the metrics of call handeling time,. What a disaster. .I felt sorry for the card members who’s vacations were ruined by mistakes Amex made . I finally had to resign . The stress was too much. Reaching out for help was dismal .no support . My team leader could not help me with anything

Pros

Amex is usually known for good WLB, and lots of opportunity to move around and grow. They have pretty good benefits as well. Opportunity to buy week vacation as well.

Cons

Many people applied to be virtual during lockdowns and now the company is backtracking and forcing people hybrid. Company is in a hiring freeze and there has been restructuring so silent layoffs happening. Environment is not the best right now. If you are virtual company is pretty much telling you that you will not have any career growth.
