Pros

It all depends who you work for over there.

Cons

I was terminated for complaining to my boss that I felt as though he was belittling me because I was female and had gone to him with an issue I discovered while working, and rather than listening he laughed in my face and basically told me I didn't know what I was talking about. The thing is, my credentials and education are far more sophisticated than his. Between the two of us, I was the only one qualified for HIS position. My first day I was told I had an hour lunch and could take it whenever I wanted. The next day I took my lunch and took a nap during it. No big deal. Wasn't late getting back. I mentioned it to my boss. Two days later I get called in for a meeting with HR because my boss had told them that I had been taking hour lunches when he told me I only had 30 minutes and that I was sleeping on the job. W.T.F? HR wouldn't even listen to me when I was trying to explain, that simply wasn't the truth. After he laughed at me I texted him during lunch telling him I felt as though I wasn't being taken seriously because I was a female. He went to HR with this text and HR said it showed that I "had a pattern of inappropriate behavior" and fired me over it. The fact I felt like I was being treated differently infuriated them.

Pros

- The people are generally very kind and collaborative broadly. - I believe the company is genuine in its mission to only earn profits by helping everyday Americans move forward on the path to a better financial future. - The company at large and some of its leaders aren't afraid to try things and then pivot if they don't work to try something else, instead of doubling down over pride or ego or stubbornness.

Cons

- There's a lack of clear and strategic leadership that leaves job ambiguity, which places the employee at a disadvantage with performance measurement, which is how they award quarterly bonuses. Without clear SMART goals, it becomes a game of bring me a rock, but not that rock. - Towards the end, they were implementing a start-up entrepreneurial mindset style that was leaning away from valuing work/life balance and getting more demanding and desperate in attempts to meet metrics.
