Pros

-Benefits are outstanding: 401K; Vacation time; Paid holidays. -Starting pay is great compaired to other companies in the industry.

Cons

-Compensation as you advance is a bit low. Though starting pay is higher among others in the industry, that is not the case once you advance. -Getting rid of the Assistant Managers has to be one of the most idiotic moves I've seen a company perform. Really! What are they thinking? Now, all the responsibilities that the Assistant Manager performed is now falling on everyone else, and to top it off - we are receiving No additional training or compensation for it. -The performace review process needs to be looked at as well. Many associates receive raises (or no raises) based on the performance of their branches versus their individual performance. It is simply to hard to "stand out" when you are rated as a team, especialy if there are under-performing members on the team.

Pros

Some of the smartest individuals in their fields. The focus is always “forward” and the company is willing to adopt new tech to stay ahead for the purposes of the company’s (key word there) benefit. Great PTO and benefits.

Cons

The company’s drive to keep itself moving forward has caused it to regress in other aspects. As a leading tech company first, and leading bank second, it’s embarrassing what their stance is on hybrid and remote work. The company can easily accommodate remote options for their employees not near main offices, but chooses not to. I am relocating to a major city with no major CapOne presence and their response was “too bad, either fly up weekly or you’ll be terminated for not meeting the hybrid requirements”. It’s embarrassing because most of my week is remote anyways. I wonder how many current and past employees have been impacted, and I’m worried about how much talent they’ll be pushing away in the coming years.
