Pros

Subsidized cafeteria. Good people to work with in some business areas (outside of IT).

Cons

Too many to write - there are majorly incompetent employees in IT who are just there to collect a paycheck. A key sign of incompetent staff is incompetent leadership and that includes the managers and directors. Lots of backstabbing, gossiping and floundering amongst IT - especially in the application maintenance area.

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.
