Pros

Insurance Benefits are really great;

Cons

Senior leadership seems to be disconnected from the associates --- not tuned in, many associates are pretending to be happy, and the morale is very low. For growth to go in the right direction, Capital has to be aware of the current culture and how many associates view their own career trajectory. Unfortunately, the idea of DE&I at Capital looks only one way, and that's promoting only white women into senior roles who have little knowledge of the work or business. In the recent layoff, majority of the DE&I department was impacted and it's clear the interest is no longer a priority since it's no longer a big topic in the news. I have to admit it's discouraging to see the huge shift in Capital's culture, approach to change, and how these changes are communicated to associates.

Pros

The pay is not so bad for a call center and the vacation days are good because you will need those to get away from this stressful job

Cons

A lot of favoritism and bias. Managers already have their favorites and will leave the associates they don’t like as much in the dust. Manager micromanages and holds associates to different standards. What they look at as behavior that disqualifies some associates from promotions or bonuses, they disregard in other associates they like.

Cons

1. Almost 3 years ago I was hired by Capital Group, my biggest concern making a change in my career was my ability to develop & grow. During the interview process I was told about how there are multiple "paths" and the company dedicates time to associates to develop. Really they mean giving you 30 minutes a month to complete some training or complete a review of someone/recent training experience. Those so called paths they mentioned are nonexistent. I've sat in the same position for 3 years, never had the chance to be trained into a specific department because there is an ongoing staffing issue within departments. The lack of opportunities does not attract people to stay here long term. 2. Management tries to be too positive. I've expressed my concerns to multiple managers and not one has seemed to take it seriously. Over a year ago, management asked for feedback, it turned ugly real quick & ever since it's been hush hush. Continuous issues are overlooked and not addressed. Management also makes decisions based off what they think, not what those doing the job with the experience think. i.e shift bid, removing earlier shifts and adding later shifts. Considering more than half the associates are parents, management should be considering people with families or additional responsibilities outside of work. 3. Overtime is never ending. Associates receive last minute emails begging for people to work additional time when their shifts end in the next hour or two. Management likes to preach work/life balance but for the last 2 years, overtime has been required. When I was hired I was informed of "blackout dates" for 2 weeks every January and 3 weeks in April due to tax season. At this time, there is constant overtime & taking your time off is "not contributing to improving the current environment."
