Pros

You will always know where you stand and will be reminded on a daily basis. The job is production based, and at the end of the day it's all about the numbers. If you don't have any interest in a life outside of work, and want to move up the corporate ladder it's not a horrible place to work. Benefits as far as company match for 401k/stock options are pretty decent also.

Cons

Forget about a work-life balance. District managers always pressure you to work more hours to turn in better results. Average work week is about 55 hours, but month end can easily be 65-70+ when you include Saturday hours. As a salaried manager (no OT) plan on being used and abused. The normal staffing in branches these days is 1-2 employees down from what it once was which means a lot more work for everyone in the branch. Again, if you don't mind working non-stop the job is ok, but turnover is high for a reason. Your expectations will be VERY high, and there is a lot of pressure to perform. If you do not THRIVE under pressure don't even think about taking this job.

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.
