Pros

Decent amount of independent time, there are a few cool perks such as reward zone discounts and going to midnight releases.

Cons

Management is very micromanaged. In a company this big they only care about making money in lieu of making their staff feel cared for or comfortable. I often carried my department(s) through sales quota every day, week, month and year and got absolutely zero recognition.

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.
