Pros

Great healthcare benefits and vendor accommodations.

Cons

The "quiet downsizing" of 2013 only caused unreasonable workloads for those who remained. And instead of eventually promoting the folks who remained, previously downsized folks are rehired into any new leadership roles.

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.
