Pros

Better pay than many travel agent salaries. There are advantages of working from home.

Cons

I had to deal with dated software requiring multiple reboots and calls to tech team in attempts to resolve issues. Corrupt files caused many crashes and freezes. Multiple booking portals are required to keep open during the shift and if one crashes it can impact other systems causing significant frustration. Management without any travel sales experience. American Express is primarily a bank card with travel services taking a back seat. Cardmembers constantly complain about the website and the delays in booking by phone. Requires constant follow up with many departments to verify ticketing and for travel changes - often after hours. Agents get stuck with negative cardmember reviews for complaints over which they have no control.

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...
