      Advice to Management

      There are too many town halls making the same vague statements, especially in November when everyone is at their busiest and need as much productive time as they can get.

      I have been working at American Express full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Great place to get experience if you're younger and starting off your career.

      Cons

      Not a great workplace to grow your career. The company really likes to keep you in your current role and continue to move laterally when you can move externally and get a higher position with a much better salary. The problem with the company is that they speak a lot about having interest in their employees careers and growth however there is never any action from the words no matter how hard an employee tries to... grow and accelerate their career at Amex. This is why a lot of people leave, why stay at a workplace that doesn't recognize your knowledge and experience earning less money than you should and not challenging yourself anymore since you're only making lateral moves?
