Pros

Great pay scale compared to similar job functions. If you can get in touch with the right people, you can move up quickly. This all depends on your manager, however.

Cons

Highly political. It's all about who you know. The management says it isn't about seniority for promotions, but you will find out that this is *all* its about.

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.
