Pros

American Express does pay better than most travel companies for a travel agent position.

Cons

Performance measurement is too stringent and is all about numbers instead of the whole person. It used to be a fun place to work, but has become very high stress, with very little job security. They terminate talented people, then hire inexperienced people that take too long to train and get up to par. It's become too much of a revolving door.

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...
