Pros

Payback is a subsidiary of American Express and is an innovative loyalty management provider. Started in 2000, it had grown to 1200 staff in 2013. American Express uses the loyalty management system in the USA under the name Plentii. Interesting work in a fast growing company

Cons

Payback is very agile, however within American Express this was not very welcome and it took some time to convince then of the advantages

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.
