Pros

Starting pay is fair for the area.

Cons

The training is subpar and not complete enough for the amount of stuff they want the new member services representatives to learn. Considering the sheer breadth of the information that is needed and how precise the work is, the training is designed to get the super performers, but what they need to do is have better training so they get more quality reps. Also, they need to change their nazi call center rules, such as the fact that if you need to go to the bathroom, it burns your break time! They need to treat the reps as adults. This why they are always bringing in trainees every few weeks, no one stays very long and so many just get up and leave during training or after they get on the phones! I noticed that there are few if any smiles in the break room.

Pros

Awesome place and people - complex and large finance operation and balance sheet yet still small enough to make an impact and build up solutions from the ground floor - creative place!

Cons

Sometimes can be stretched for more resources

Pros

Great staff and middle management. Good benefits and facilities.

Cons

Upper Management - same tune as all the other reviews. This place is full of great people who don't know they are great. It's also full of bad leaders who think they are great. Unfortunately, the best performers are often rewarded with carrying the burden of underperformers and non-contributing leaders. In certain teams there is very limited in upward mobility. They are slow to weed out low performers and ineffective managers. All in, strong performers and high achievers might find this place frustrating. This is a place for those who like to coast through.
