Benefits are good, people who you work with are great

Cons

Company does not live up to its own values, have no problem slashing roles even if you are a top performer, no explanations why, also, there is no IT strategy aligning with business, very resistant to change

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.
