Amex Is Hiring Experienced Phone Reps to Serve Small-Business Customers

Listen, we’ve all had those days when slipping out of pajamas and braving the morning commute seems like a Sisyphean task.

With this full-time work-from-home gig, you’ll never have that feeling again. And the benefits aren’t too shabby, either.

American Express is hiring virtual customer-care professionals in every U.S. state but California, Alaska and Hawaii.

As a customer care professional, you’d be joining American Express’s 24/7 call center to help answer customer questions and resolve account issues.

Paid training will begin Feb. 25, 2019, with shift hours made available after 90 days.

If this doesn’t sound like the right fit for you – or if you live in California, Alaska, or Hawaii – then don’t forget to check out our Work-From-Home Jobs Portal. We post new opportunities there all the time — and we vet them, too.
