Pros

My former boss. She was the director of collections and she put a lot of effort of developing middle management.

Cons

They promoted from within. At times the pickings were slim and it seemed they would hope for the best as it was policy to hire/promote that way. At times it felt as if some members of middle management were carrying the weight of others which caused friction.

Pros

The pay is competitive, especially for the type of work. The job itself is interesting, and every day can be different, which helps keep things from becoming repetitive. There are opportunities to learn valuable skills and gain experience.

Cons

Management is inconsistent and often lacks clear communication. The company is extremely numbers-driven, sometimes at the expense of employee morale and customer service. There is clear favoritism in how employees are treated and recognized, which can be be discouraging for employees who consistently work hard. Work-life balance is also poor. Although the scheduled hours may not seem bad on paper, it's common to start at 9:00 a.m. and not get home until around 8:00 p.m., making for long days that leave little personal time. Better communication, more transparency, fair treatment of employees, and a healthier work-life balance would make a significant difference.
