Pros

- Great company culture - Fantastic quality of people (no bozos) - Meritocracy that rewards people for results not political prowess - good compensation and benefits - analytical approach balanced with sound judgment

Cons

- Industry is in a bad spot and government regulation / legislation will not make life easy for Capital One or anyone else - Bank acquisitions are sucking lots of bandwidth while the company gets the three banks to act as one - Growth of the company is slowing so opportunities are not what they once were for advancement - Focus is on very specific skillsets and general management skills are less appreciated than great quantitative skills and gaps in other disciplines

work with school schedule and professional

Cons

there was too much pressure on selling new products. assumed everyone who worked as a teller planned on moving up in company, too much emphasis and training to do so, when all i needed was part time job until i finished school
