Pros

1) Better than being unemployed. 2) You'll be much more appreciative when you get a good job

Cons

Despite having a commendable value statement ('the credo'), this business only values money. Staff, customers, compliance with banking regs will all be thrown under the bus in order to make budget. I saw so many great people, in what were key roles laid-off to hit year- end targets it was ridiculous. Some roles inevitably had to back-filled, normally this would be by less-experienced, lower-paid staff. Lay-offs could happen at any time of the year, so you never have job security. The regulatory fines were eye-watering, but despite promise-on-promise that things would change, there were always more fines.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
