Pros

They were great to work for when management was localized to locations/regions. Credit works closely with sales, so having a branch of sales and warehouse people you could develop relationships with was great and is integral to that job. Unfortunately, they changed that completely in 2019.

Cons

They moved to remote work with a few credit managers over way too many employees at once (50-100) PRIOR to Covid. At first, we were all excited to work from home, but that was very short lived. They changed the structure multiple times and moved you based on the difficulty of work you were able to do. They did not increase your salary with the moves though. So, if you were in the highest tier difficulty, which I was, you made the same as the easiest tier while doing a vastly different level of work. You didn’t get to interview with your manager; they placed you under them and changed it frequently, so you could have a good or bad one, then a different one a couple weeks later. My final one was really, really, really bad. The process was unfair and they treat you like you’re disposable. Major HR issues with some of the managers in this setup.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
