Pros

We got to work from home for over a year due to the pandemic. Remote work stations were mailed to us. The vacation time was great.

Cons

When I quit, my bonus from previous year was taken back from my 401k. The management are forced to be micro-managers. My department handled disputes and fraud, but we were constantly given calls from other departments and held to higher call handling standards. It was impossible to stay in great standing. CFR is pushed down everyone's throat, but for a Platinum card that has a fee, it's a shame that workers are negatively impacted when a customer has to call back whether it is related to the prior call or NOT. The breaks are too short. When I quit, I didn't get an exit interview. I was a number and it showed. So many loyal great employees quit because of stress by the company-not the customer/job description. In my position of almost 3 years, there hasn't been NOT one shift bid. I had a terrible schedule from training and I hadn't had the opportunity to change it. I worked double weekends for close to 3 years with young children at home. The benefits were too expensive.

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...
