Working at American Express offers the chance to participate in an extensive, competitive, and innovative total compensation program that includes cash pay, long-term incentives (if eligible), benefits, retirement security, and work/life support. This website contains brief descriptions of the many pay, benefits, and help in preparing for special programs that are available to you as an American Express employee.

You must enroll for benefits within 60 days of your hire date. If you enroll within the 60-day limit, coverage for you and your eligible dependents begins on the day you begin regular full-time employment. If you are a regular part-time employee, working at least 20 hours a week, you and your eligible dependents are eligible to enroll for benefits within 60 days of completing six months of active employment, and coverage will begin once the six-month waiting period is completed.
