Pros

Being an employee has far better perks than being a leader for the company. Benefits (Health, 401k which is gone at this time, PTO use it or lose it).

Cons

ALL responsibility for others roles or lack of others work lands on leadership. Worked to the bone, making significant sacrifices just to hold the walls from falling over. Poor leadership everywhere, disengaged workers doing the minimum to get by and a huge lack of pride are present everywhere.

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.
