Dont walk - run

High value customer service representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work-life balance I guess, nothing out of the ordinary. Honestly many more cons than pros

Cons

No follow up with teammates after training at all, they throw you to the wolves directly and management does a terrible job at even asking how you are doing with your job. Managers don’t check up on workers, again they are very absent and if thats something you look for than they would be a good fit but otherwise I don't recommend. Pay wise is really meh! If you are expecting a “competitive salary” like they advertise this is not the company to do it with. Culture is very weak, the whole inclusion and team collaboration does not exist.

Used to be better, but growing toxicity in leadership and management

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Fair compensation (not the best, not the worst) - Relatively technical for a bank - A lot of good people to work with

Cons

- Hyper competitive performance management process with unclear expectations, which has been resulting in good performers getting punished - A very inefficient and stressful performance management cycle twice a year - Unfair compensation structures, with minimal pathways to adjust compensation without leaving - Un-diverse leadership, especially within the powerful Card organization - Too much middle management whose jobs are effectively to micromanage, minimizing team productivity
