      satisfied initially, but has gone down hill

      Pros

      Back when the industry was good and we held great employees, it was an awesome place to work, but past 2-3 yrs the company has gone down hill. The company still holds some great people to work with depending on the area you land in.

      Cons

      Downsized considerable and rather than trying to retain valuable employees by moving them into other positions they were let go. Management is poor at communicating what is expected of their employees or where the company is headed. If you work there at the present, expect to be overworked, untrained, and stressed.

      A good experience before layoffs

      Pros

      I worked with a great group of people. There was no "dead weight." Everyone was smart and focused. It was a good atmosphere until layoffs started. People were focused on doing a good job overall and teamwork was the norm in my department. That said, there have been a lot of changes and most of my coworkers are no longer with company.

      Cons

      At the time that I left the company they were letting go of many people due to a reorganization after the federal government pulled the origination of student loans back inhouse. The communication about job status, layoffs, changes etc was terrible. It felt like even HR hadn't been briefed. Change management was really needed.

      Pros

      If you are a former colleague at MBNA who got washed out, good chance of getting high paying job

      Cons

      Core business gutted, lack of skill to compete in new products
