Pros

Good benefits. Medical is decent and affordable. Dental was really good considering. PTO was adequate. There were a lot of other great programs and benefits.

Cons

Wages are just okay. Not worth the Stressful job. I went on as a lender but spent majority of my time being a collector. Mandatory Saturdays for collection calls. You have lending goals but you also have collection requirements and your petty bonuses are affected by both. Calling people 3x a day because their payment is 10 days overdue is just ridiculous. There were days I made 150 calls or more in ONE DAY. While still training and worrying about a lending goal. Cedar Rapids Branch had terrible management in my tenure. Which made the already hard job worse. However I will say: the DM was a nice guy. He would have been able to make more of an impact if his hands weren’t tied by policy.

Collection duties are part of the primary duties for individuals including branch and call center staff members. It is important that OneMain protects its loan portfolio and collects on accounts that have become delinquent. Our compensation and benefits package are evaluated and guided by a set of company principles that are regularly reviewed. Specifically, as part of our evaluation process our pay and salary ranges are informed and adjusted based on industry standards, general pay practices, and geography. - ck

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
