Pros

Attempts are made at culture and some groups definitely have a more positive working experience than others

Cons

Some departments including mine load an incredible amount of work onto people in the name of keeping labour costs down. Constant stream of 'that person can do it' even when already at the breaking point. In my experience new hires are added only when you are doing a full 2 persons jobs, barely doing the minimum of it all to get through everything on time.

They have turned into corporate America. No longer care about their employees like they used to.

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.
