Pros

Good work life balance, well pay

Cons

Yes, you get pay well, they even paying bonus but they are making the goal impossible to achieve, so it comes out the same with other banks. They just promoted their own people, don't even care how they performed! It's all depends on "who you know" there

Pros

When I left Capital One, I was sure my new position would offer all the fulfillment I felt I was not getting. It only took 6 months to realize what I had left behind. Capital One genuinely allows employees to grow and become whatever they have the desire to be. Its provides training and makes a concerted effort to help every associate be successful. I miss the flexibility and growth potential I had. I really miss the work-life balance!! Capital One treats you like an adult, allows you to make decisions and be responsible for your team. Management understands when you need to go to a school play or take an afternoon for a doctors appointment. Moreover, they pay really well compared to the market. It was after losing all the various benefits, did I realize how much they were truly worth.

Cons

As with every company, there is politics and inept managers. Unfortunately Capital One's performance process allows a lot more of that than there should be within such a dynamic organization. I ended up leaving because of inept management and felt that I had no way to be successful in an organization I truly enjoyed being a part of.

Pros

You are challenged everyday with the opportunity to make an actual impact to bottom line. Right away you allowed to work on policies that can potentially effect millions of dollars.

Cons

The organization is very top heavy at the moment due to the poor economy and low voluntary attrition and thus, it can be hard to move up in the corporate ladder
