Pros

Benefits are insane - great PTO, good Bonus plan (if financial targets are met), tuition reimbursement, etc. Good team members, great location, relaxed-but-still-professional atmosphere. Amazingly good work/life balance.

Cons

As with any for-profit corporation, quarterly earnings and re-orgs put most teams on edge and in fear of layoffs. We have just turned the corner from a major transformation/re-org effort, and it seems to be paying off, but it doesn't eliminate the fear of layoffs if we have a bad quarter.

Understand that traditional remittances are dying

Cons

Not enough resources available to drive transformation. Legacy tech. Outdated systems, processes. Too much work expected per employee.
