Pros

Left a steady position and ended up in a no win training class with little support. Continuous technical issues the trainers refused to fix. I was released onto a call center with little hands on experience then received little to no help once out there. They cared more about a 3 minute hold than to check if I was ok with little hands on.

Cons

Lack of support from trainers with technical issues. My banking platform has issues for weeks until I was released on the floor, Ridiculous!Their banking infrastructure is not ready. You were moved along ready or not then left to fend for yourself with no support. I would never abandon anyone new or treat them the way Kenn Moise did to me by not responding and ignoring requests altogether! This was a terrible learning experience.

Pros

Good amount of PTO & they actually let you take it Really amazing colleagues Once you hit 6 months, you get some travel related perks My team lead is incredible

Cons

Pay is too low, particularly considering how much money the travel dept brings in for the company. Payroll (which is done via a 3rd party) has screwed up my check MULTIPLE times to the tune of hundreds of dollars & since you only get paid the 15th & last day of the month, it is a killer waiting for them to get it sorted & it doesn't seem like anyone really cares enough to get it done quickly or overnight you a check. They don't let the travel dept participate in their Work From Anywhere program which is ridiculous if you want ppl to broaden their travel/geographical knowledge. Higher ups in the dept are out of touch with the stress/work level of the TCs & don't make changes that are actually improvements. The systems are buggy & nearly unusable a lot of the time. Virtual workers aren't treated as well as the in office workers. There's currently a hiring freeze on so we couldn't move to another position even if we wanted to

Worst training and support ever

Pros

Vacation days because you going to need them

Cons

Metrics just made up and lowered at will, lack of support and training, absolutely could not believe this was Amex. Was never told you would be servicing flights and hotel, exchanging flights and the amount of money you will lose if you make a mistake and you have not even been trained correctly or at length
