Pros

Decent salary starting out. Pays more than most banks. Good benefits including vacation/sick days. Mileage reimbursement. Easy job. No more field calls (collection visits). Able to obtain loan/collection experience which looks good on a resume from a bank's perspective.

Cons

Terrible products offered. Not very many opportunities for advancement. I feel terrible soliciting customers at those rates. Must solicit all day, every day. Even when customers say they don't need anything, we call them the next month to f/u. If they don't answer, we call the next day to solicit again. Also pressured to enroll other businesses in a Merchant Referral program so they send us more business. Most times, they don't even send over one application. We just sign up sketchy businesses to keep the DM off our backs.

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
