Pros

Great Manager, she was encouraging and unsupportive.

Cons

The subsidiary USACG marketing team gives you an un-realistic on top of the fact the the entire list of leads is DNC (Do Not Call) hoe exactly am I supposed to reach out to customers, but still expect you to make a total of 80 calls daily., They do not explain to you form the beginning that customers that you are calling will not have on their caller ID that American Express is calling, hence when you introduce yourself they believe you are scam or fraud therefor customers are vulgar and disrespectful about 90% of the time. Leads are circulated and never improved the tools given are sub-par a best., Favoritism, Politics and corruption is the worst. If a family matter arises and emergencies occur and you report the emergency and report to HR and create a case number follow policy and are unable to make the 80 calls daily than your job is very much at risk.

Pros

Pay is great. Benefits are amazing, co-workers are super friendly and helpful. If you have the option to work from home, then it’d very ideal company to work for. A lot of room for growth.

Cons

Management is alright. They are too focused on metrics and numbers and harass you basically to make offers. Customers can be very entitled too especially if you work with the platinum card. Also I resigned from American Express and had documentation to prove it and yet they were telling other employers I applied to that they terminated me which caused me issues getting a job after. So I thought that was a bit unprofessional.

Pros

Benefits are decent. Coworkers are awesome

Cons

The stress level was horrible. Really took a toll on my well being. I think they expect the humans to be robots. Firing people all over the place. Over 15 years with the company means nothing, they really don't care about the employees. It has changed so much in the past 2 years, not the same company I started with for sure.
