Pros

Pretty decent pay for the work you do. Great benefits at a pretty good rate. They give you a $30 discount on your monthly premium for non smokers. A LOT of paid time off.

Cons

To meet your metrics, you need to slam through your calls, one right after the other, non stop. There are always about 65 or more calls in queue, so it is usually always very busy. You also have to meet a certain percentage of surveys from the card members. This metric can get you bonuses BUT sometimes the survey will not pertain to you, it may be about another agent or department. So, if it's negative it still counts against you. They do not take that survey off. And THAT can make you not qualify for a bonus.

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...
