Pros

This, like any company, is dependent on your department or group, but I love the team I'm on and have great respect for my manager. Excellent amount of PTO, well above industry standard.

Cons

Beyond the above, though, there's increasingly very little to enjoy about the actual day to day job. Continually changing expectations or piling on more work with no additional incentive. Oh, but hey, you can get paid more by working more OT & Saturdays. Monetary incentive is simply not there to keep top talent. There's next to no advancement or career opportunities, not just in my department - which is a very limited, linear and singular path for advanvement - but within the company as a whole. Especially now, as I have it on good authority that OMF has put a "freeze" on any job opportunity if you don't live near where a particular team is out of. The simple explanation for that is OneMain is not a remote-first company. Not a bad thing in and of itself; this is plenty common in the corporate world. But this just means you're SOL if you want to stay with the company (my first preference) but don't live in an area where other departments have offices in. There are several departments I'd like to look into more but alas, that's not an option so I'm left very short list of career decisions to make.

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.
