Pros

Highly paid and good benefits.

Cons

All about is metrics. One of KPI elements which is RTF literally killing the real talents. Team lead are skipping call evaluation and relying on RTF. They should have call QA to evaluate all the calls to ensure agents not always in fault. Literally blaming the agents due RTF KPI elements. No breather as calls keep coming and if you missed your meal break while on call ‘sayonara’. No humanity towards employee and HR engagement ‘ZERO’. Favoritism & politics overloaded and its proving amex also typically corporate mafia. OM must coaches their leader on fair workplace environment. No work life balance for sure. Unprofessional pod leaders. Someone really need to look into this please. Agents are suffering and no point creating videos to fake greater culture in AMEX

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
