Pros

Although this company is currently going through layoffs (only the second time in Capital Group history), they are by far a great company to work for. How many other companies have a retirement plan for you, and put in 15% of what you make annually. How many companies pay for your college? How many "Call Centers" dont care if you took 70 calls or 20, as long as in the end, your customer was provided with the best customer service, and walked away with no questions left unanswered. Capital Group is a wonderful place to work.

Cons

Feedback is a little over the top. Don't get me wrong, I think its a great things, and we can catch a lot of errors, however, it seems to be the negative feedback that you hear about the most. Its very rare that your TM says "Hey, I listened to a few of your calls today, great job" Or "I checked a few of the items you worked on today, no errors, great job" Most of the time, you only hear the negative. But, as I have learned. If you dont hear anything, you must be doing a great job!

Pros

The benefits and stability are still the strong points for working at Capital Group. There aren't many companies out there that can rival the generous benefits/compensation package and company stability that are provided to their employees.

Cons

Senior managment lacks both leadership and strategic direction. Certain divisions are paralyzed by the organization's cultural impacts such as accomodating unproductive or dysfunctional employees. Employees are conflicted by not having a career path and the strong benefits/comp. Executive management is slow to address internal growth and advancement at the team level although they are important to the overall business enterprise. Understandable challenges since the core business is not technology focused.
