Pros

Pay was decent and benefits too

Cons

Things really changed when Amex lost the Costco account. It because a sales job first, and customer service second. The supervisors didn't care about anything except sales, sales, sales. If a customer called in to dispute a charge, pay a bill, ask a question, the rep was expected to make a sale somewhere during the call. The metrics were impossible. Once Amex lost the Costco account, they were scrambling to keep customers. It was sad. I asked in my initial interview if this was a sales job, and was told it was not. Within 2 years, it was a sales job. Very little training, but they had such high expectations that it was impossible to meet them. I had such high hopes for this company, but they because just another credit card company, and nothing special.

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...
