Pros

The Pantry with food and drinks. Having AB on your resume looks decent. They had some decent learning tools.

Cons

Low pay for someone with a bachelors degree. I wouldn't waste your time applying unless you are desperate. With the amount of Fortune 500 companies we have in San Antonio (USAA,Valreo,Tesoro,Oracle) you can get payed a lot more with a bachelors degree. When you are interviewing (you get interviewd by 3 to 5 people which is crazy to me) they will try to sell you on what a great opportunity it is and the amount you will learn and grow. It's not true. It's a gloomy place with a lot of unhappy people. It's just operations so there's not a lot to learn from as far as Finance goes. The systems are painfully old, slow, and worthless. The benefits aren't that great either. There was very high turnover rate in the department I was in (about 5-7 people left in a 2 month span) so that tells you how bad it was.
