American Express reviews

Even though their best customers are over 45 years old, Amex is very focused on youth when it comes to it's employees. Amex does not value real experience in it's work force. It' nearly impossible to find a upper middle manager (AKA Band 45 VP) that became a VP after age 35. Most experienced employees are pushed aside after a certain age regardless of how successful and award winning they have been to make room for the next generation. So don't stay too long. If you miss more than two opportunities to get promoted it's time to leave.

Limited mobility due constant downsizing, really low compensation package compared to industry standards. American Express will not promote from within and offer appropriate compensation.
