Pros

Stable company with good cash, Subsi of big Financial Institution, Brand name

Cons

Senior leadership is coterie of few people and then senior people have 1-2 favorites who in total 30-35 people run the company. There is no space for new comers, and these 35 people will not let you settle... There is big politics at play... Thats the reason these 35 people are staying more than 6,7,8, even 10 years as they are milking big cash cows,, doing all the big travel, taking all big bonuses and big increments and leaving anything for others

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
