Pros

Great company culture that makes you excited to come to work every day. CEO, Hubert Joly truly has passion for making the company great and cares about each person who works there. They offer a lot of flexibility, great benefits and an incredible diversity and inclusion program with employee focus groups.

Cons

Politics and high school behavior in some departments, including putting other employees down and excluding those that don't fit into their mold. I watched several great employees be pushed out of the company, some had been there for many years. No transparency or inclusion within teams. Upper management and HR don't seem to care, and are usually encouraging the behavior, and the team continues to see incredible turnover due to their high expectations.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
