Very busy with themselves, typical hire-fire mentality you find in most large corp's, unfortunately. - National Key Account Manager American Express Employee Review

Pros

Highly visible Fortune 500 financial services company, with very good reputation. It can be a spring board to other, potentially better opportunities.

Cons

The usual bla-bla about corp. mission and vision and how important their people are. In reality they don't really understand the concept of loyalty and that can't just be expected without being willing to offer it. The same goes for trust it is expected -which is nothing new. But you have no right to demand and expect what you are not willing to give. Otherwise, high expectations, little help offered or given when requested, long hours, no work-life balance, but a great image.

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.
