Pros

Great Medical, Dental and Vision benefits

Cons

Layoff is the order of the day. There is a regular massive layoff due to what the senior leadership describe as 'restructuring'. Capital One is so convinced they will lay people off regularly that they have a Career Development Center office in their Richmond location and works with a company called LHH to help their laid off employees transition out of the company. Additionally, the annual employee performance review is not based necessarily on how well you have performed over the past year but how you compare to others in the same level but who may not be doing anything related or close to what you are doing. Your annual bonus depends on how well your manager can represent you in the presence of other managers and/or how well or badly everybody in your level did over the previous year.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
