Pros

Capital One is very big on showing it's employees that upward movement is possible as long as the employee is open to feedback and can assimilate that feedback into daily practice.

Cons

Capital One is a very conservative company in regards to the risks it is willing to take which seems to put them at a competitive disadvantage. Employees spend a lot of time checking the box on regulatory training.

Pros

The constant change in pace keeps you on your feet. The ease of the job and the ability to deal with different people is great. Meeting goals while doing administrative work is a great mesh of two of our country's vital works.

Cons

All to often does management fail to communicate with those on the bottom of the totem pole. Branch managers may withhold information (with or without knowledge) and supervisors may feel the need to suppress supervisees to feel their power.

Pros

The particular department in which I worked had a somewhat lax atmosphere. The company is progressive and I believe compensates employees fairly.

Cons

The management within my department was horrible. Out of the three upper-level managers that I had two didn't care at all about their reports. There is no recognition for doing good work and very little opportunity for advancement. Managers frequently completed all of the interesting projects by themselves leaving only the most mundane mindless work for the team to complete. After bringing this up to our senior leader for 2 years, nothing was ever done. Very selfish management. If you are smart and want to be successful, do not work here. Your intelligence will not be used and will be overlooked.
