Pros

Nice big diversified company. Long standing history and deep rooted in the american financial institute. Lots of online resources for employees.

Cons

Lack of transparency. Awful corporate culture. Super depressing - Think Initech from Office Space. Lots of labels on staplers. Lack of forward thinking. Looming layoffs and upper management is acting shady.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
