Pros

Good startng pay but not nearly enough for the amount work and things you have to put up with. Can be fairly reasonable at scheduling but will try to work you as much as possible.

Cons

Really bad to post schedules and notify of any changes made Hard to move up or change departments

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.
