Pros

A paycheck. That is it.

Cons

Where does one even begin? - Unqualified management who only manage up - Layers upon layers of bureaucracy. Nothing ever gets done efficiently or correctly - Poor titles and general role clarity - Terrible, outdated processes (if there are any at all?) - Outdated technologies (everything breaks, constantly) - Management who will throw you under bus in a heartbeat - Management that takes credit for their employees work - Management that plays favorites with their employees - Unfriendly and untrustworthy co-workers (can’t blame them, as it’s just a side effect of an unhealthy workplace) - High impact decisions made off ‘feelings’ and not facts or data - No accountability placed on Managers (they’ll blame someone who makes 3 times less than them, instead) - Negative work environment, where people are extremely unhappy - They don't care about previous experience or skills. You either act like management's dog, and play by their rules, or you will be labeled as 'uncooperative' or 'confrontational' or some other ridiculous word meant to demoralize you to the point you have lost all your self worth. In that sense, it's like being a slave or infantry. If you like being abused and want to lose your career confidence—work here. If you are looking for something more fulfilling in a career and don’t feel like being miserable everyday—do not work here.

Pros

Good work environment. Management can be good depending on your branch. Can make lots of close friends.

Cons

Very sales-focused. Does not matter if customer does not qualify for credit cards, loan, etc., you have to put the application in to meet quota. And the occasional rude customer.
