It was worth the experience - Anonymous Bread Financial Employee Review

My four years at Bread Financial were some of – if not the easiest – the most worthwhile. The experience I gained from all of the challenges we faced as a company has made me invaluable in today’s market and skyrocketed my earnings potential beyond what I could have ever imagined when I first started there. If I could give any advice to the people on this site who are looking for a company to work for… DON’T work for the company where all the reviews praise it for being so “easy” and “fun”. Because that’s not the kind of environment that’s going to support your growth and help you get the most value from the time you spend with a company. Instead of viewing your career as “how can I make the most money for the least amount of work” you should view it as “where can I get the most experience so that I become the kind of person who will be seen as so valuable to potential future employers that I can pretty much set my own price”. ESPECIALLY if you’re just starting out in your career. But even if you’re further on, it’s never too late to change your perspective and practically quadruple your value in only a few years time. But even if this advice falls on deaf ears, I just want to say that I’m grateful to the management team at this company for all of the opportunities they presented me with and all the advice they gave me. You guys are real ones.
