Very Poor Training

Pros

Nice cafeteria and workout facilities. Also appreciate the health clinic.

Cons

I sat in a training class for 4 weeks and then they pushed us out on the floor and gave us no guidance or further instruction. They just dinged us with "defects" for everything that was done wrong. From what other employees said, for all the people they are hiring through the front door, they are pushing that many out through the back door. I'm not sure what their point is.

A once great company ruined by new management and politics at the top.

Pros

Benefits, competitive pay, nice campus

Cons

The management at the HQ location is a very siloed structure. I was employed at this company for twenty-four years. I grew with the company, and had a great experience in the early years, however, corporate politics from upper management, specifically the Cardmember Services Management team at HQ from the top down has no concern for their people, only for the bottom line. The company was made great by maintaining an employee centric atmosphere which motivated employees to stay and remain loyal to the company and work hard to perform which garnered great bottom line results. The focus has changed, and it was a very sad thing to witness and be a part of.
