Pros

Pay which is very competitive , work in an environment which is fun and casual (No Need for tight suits and briefcases unless your into that kind of thing), managers that care most often than not about you and your life , training by individuals that are skilled and love their job enough to make you feel you might want to retire here. Lots of Prize, Gifts, and merchandise to be won or bought at cheap prices and no these are things may actually like such as 22" rims, an Xbox, and Gas Cards just to name a few. Will you think your being Brainwashed, of course, but you'll like it.

Cons

Customer service is so crucial that employees may "wet the bed" if not bringing their "A" game and "mysteriously disappear" if not selling and making AMEX the big bucks.If you do customer service you got to give extraordinary service and wrap it up in good time. If your in sales, you get a little more time but your life may end short at Amex if not making that quota. You see every possible detail about this person even category the person falls into i.e. from influential to frequent caller. Customers will lie and act brand new with you so you cant get too personal or feel for their situation so much that you risk your own job to protect them from themselves.

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.
