Cons

The managers and supervisors were often incompetent or clueless. The scheduling was extremely inflexible especially concerning matters such as school or religious events. Finally, some supervisors promoted extremely unethical business practic.es in an attempt to sell products. When questioned, supervisors responded that it was the nature of the business

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.
