Pros

Pre WFH culture was good selling point. Most managers are accommodating to personal time. Good ETB bank.

Cons

Promotion process is murky. Been to 3 areas in the company working on the same goal to get promoted. The reason to get promoted is because we need to get to the next payscale so our pay can grow at a 3% adjusted for inflation rate. When you reach the midpoint of the payscale the annual pay increments is less than the 3%. This makes it not worth it to put in extra effort for a better pay. The whole promotion process is as though we are pitted against each other to try to outshine each other. This is like getting ready for an interview that you cannot represent yourself but depends on the manager to fight for you. IT would be better to leave this company to get to the next level than to stick around.

Pros

Work from home, Ok opportunities to learn more but opportunities are becoming slim.

Cons

Between Micromanagement, work overload and with the use of vendors and AI employees are at risk. Corporate seems to not care that were all tired of the customers that are being abusive when corporates made bad decisions and these poor people have thousands withdrawn from an AI error. Pay for this level of company and the increasing headaches is not good, no monthly bonus, no commissions. No pension. Health benefits are available but not affordable. And the undo stress is causing my peers to consider quiting even ones that been here over 10yrs
