Pros

You can learn the credit card industry and get exposure to all departments with ease. Culture is rather relaxed. Time off is generous.

Cons

No raises for anyone in 2 years. Limited promotions and hiring from outside is common. I've never had such limited exposure to department heads before. UK parent is making Sourcing and Risk Tolerance unbearable. UK parent has a "one template" approach to all their companies.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
