Business Outlook

Pros

You'll never find a company like this. -13th Month Pay -Insurance -Retirement Fund (after 5 years) -Paid Sick Leaves -Paid Vacation Leaves -REAL work life balance -Yearly salary increases based on performance -WFH, all equipment provided -HMO coverage -Internet subsidy/reimbursement -Vaccination coverage -Shuttle in/out of work -Salary compensation is above average than usual in the Philippines. -Inclusive community/work environment

Cons

-It's a financial entity/account. You get to talk and deal with the most unreasonable and difficult Kens and Karens of the United States almost everyday. If you don't have the stomach or the patience for it, training will be a hell for you. -Again, it's a financial account. It's very technical and my OJT days were a hell but I still managed to survive. -Lackluster training. My batch was part of the experimental batch that was released in the production when everyone was obviously not ready. -How I wish my salary was WAY BIGGER than the industry standard for my position. I wished I know how big they provide for salary.
