Pros

the pay was great, the rules were lax, the job was satisfying, had plenty of room to grow up the ladder, this is probably the best position within the whole company, unless you get up to GM

Cons

One con was that pay grades are rigidly pre-determined, so once you were at the top of that job's range then no raises unless you move to another position

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.
