      Pros

      Time off policy is great - better than most other companies out there. At the manager level, you get 28 days of PTO (inclusive of all holidays) walking in the door. There's also a very generous 401k match plus profit sharing (last year was around 10% of base pay).

      Cons

      Salary levels seem to be slightly lower than similar positions elsewhere. The health plan is a high deductible plan with an HSA which can be a big downer if you have something major one year. I don't think the premiums are low enough to justify the decrease in benefits.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The culture supported: work life balance; family friendly(popular with moms especially). The prospect for growth: great place to learn the credit card business. The career trajectory: you can always go up, however, sometimes outsiders who have worked at reputable firms get an accelerated boost.

      Cons

      The company's business model is so strong that not much risk-taking or innovation is nurtured, nor is it required for success, since the company is essentially a well-oiled money printing machine on the scale of a large battleship.
