Pros

I was fully remote so I didn't have to work from their corporate offices or branch locations, but I still had to watch active shooter training videos anyways

Cons

management doesn't really treat anyone like a person. a number of my colleagues were laid off abruptly and eventually it was my turn to be rudely shoved out the door. there were very few interesting engineering problems to solve. most of what I worked on in the last year was annoying interstitial modals, most of the interesting projects we could have worked on were nixed due to "risk". they had pretty frequent legal issues, which is why we had to get approval from legal for literally everything. their whole business is shady and I regret working there for as long as I did.

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.
