Pros

Great fitness center. Building is very pretty. There are some decent people that work there. Smart and know what they are doing....unfortunately, most of those people are overlooked. It used to be a great place to work. Everyone worked for a common goal...not anymore.

Cons

The network is mismanaged, card has their act together. Repeat mistakes, and deplorable upper management.

Pros

DC pays good wages unless you are at a entry level position relative to other companies. Great benefits. Great experience in the financial field.

Cons

As mentioned in headline, management treats entry level positions as mere peasants. Your opinion does not matter. Management has a few morons.
