Pros

The people are awesome, the discount is great, and the hours are flexible. Managers foster a fun and productive work environment. As a high school and college student, managers understood my sometimes complex scheduling needs and were able to accommodate.

Cons

Downtime can be either very slow and boring or filled with tedious busy work. Although you don't receive commission, there is alot of pressure from management to sell. Managers sometimes "interrogate" you about interactions which can be annoying.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
