Pros

The employee discount is generous, work-life balance is good, and some people were good to work with.

Cons

I worked in HR and witnessed discrimination and unethical business practice. HR strategies and technology were years behind with no interest in innovating practices. HR leaders didn't value the expertise on their teams or respect their employees.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
