Pros

Fantastic benefits, Diversity, 24 hour center-many shifts available, Prestigious company, in-house clinic, back-up day care, great place to meet people, advancement possibilities

Cons

You only get a 40 minute lunch and two 10 minute breaks each day. The remainder of your 8.5 hour workday will be taking back to back inbound phone calls from customers. You cannot disconnect your phone, choose not to accept calls, or even go to the restroom during that time.

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...
