Pros

the discount the discount the discount, the job is fairly cut and dry but once you get a peek into what the employee discount is you see the profit that the company brings in...the discount depends on the product..may be a few % or u may get 90% discount

Cons

you must wait three months for your benefits to start long hours during the holiday season dealing with the sometimes crazy customers

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.
