Pros

It's a lot of fun if you get to know the right people. Great job while you're in school because it pays better than most similar jobs and requires little to no effort at all.

Cons

Standing on your feet 8-10 hours a day is not fun, but other than that, I guess dealing with extremely old and angry people is the worst part.

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.
