Pros

there are many virtual (work from home) positions. i honestly can't think of any thing else that is a pro, i hate this place.

Cons

horrible management, everyone passes the buck. constant stupid training calls that don't really train you and are just tooting the horns of someone in 'advisory services' or marketing. management loves to talk about how great they are. don't ever say anything that is not completely positive b/c you will be black listed. stupid development plan process. training new hires is a joke, the current employees have to do it all in between their own work, management can't do it b/c they don't have a clue.

Pros

Staying power has been exhibited through the downturns; tries to stay ahead of the competition although its tough to large and nimble

Cons

To much tied to credit card industry revenue and that boom time is obviously over. The company needs to do a better job of cultivating the best talent.
