Pros

Great young culture. Organization going through a lot of change with lots of opportunity.

Cons

Very political management team who will judge staff without facts. If they don’t like you literally a VP was opening saying you will be fired if you aren’t fitting in. If you speak up and raise concerns you are painted as the troublemaker. Instead of taking feedback to improve and allow staff to be heard leadership will get rid of the staff who express their opinion even if opinion is factual and expressed in a very none-confrontational manner.

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.
