Pros

Decent Product discounts, only really good discounts on house brands. Mostly fun people to work with.

Cons

Promotions are given out to people who socialize with management the best, not the best applicant for the promotion or most experienced.

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.
