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.

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.
