We would receive new applications for the American Express cards and we had to verify the information they contained. I kept statistical files up to date on each employee, their performance and attendance. I was a liaison between the employees and the payroll department.

American Express Interview Questions

Interviewer was very interested in how well I was able to follow directions. The ability to make decisions was also discussed.

Working Conditions

This was a swing shift position, beginning at 3 p.m. and going until midnight. Management tried very hard to be flexible around college schedules and other special situations, as long as the employees met their quotas. Friendly and casual work environment.

More on Salary and Benefits

I was paid hourly at $10.00 per hour. Benefits included paid time off, sick leave and family medical leave. If you had an American Express card the yearly fee was waived during your employment. This company offered 401(k) plans and investment options.
