American Express reviews

The brand itself is a great one with its huge loyal base of charge cards (gold, green and platinum). The brand has a positive image and is know for outstanding customer service. The work life balance is great especially for women. The paid time off is 4 weeks, pretty good by industry standards. Add to it the flex days, sick days and multiple fun events during the year, and it's a pretty decent life you get. You will find good natured people throughout company and you may not see as much back biting. A few years in American Express can add much to your resume. And the opportunities to work in diverse fields and internationally add much to the value.

If you work at American Express, you have lots of opportunities to move to different groups within the company after a few years - in fact it is encouraged. Company focuses a lot on employee development, there is very good work life balance, the hours are not too bad and the people for the most part are decent and talented. The vacation policy is decent, the location is ok, it is not a very cutthroat place compared to some other corporate or financial services organizations. The company also invests heavily in philanthropy and in community service and volunteer activities which I enjoyed.
