Pros

The work itself isn't inherently difficult, but it can be interesting and rewarding, and you always have an opportunity to help someone. The people and environment make it a wonderful place to work.

Cons

The money is beyond terrible, and individual performance appears to have little bearing on advancement or raises. If I could give compensation & benefits a 0, I would. Livable wages come at the supervisory/management level, and opportunities for that sort of advancement are scant despite attrition rates.

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.
