Pros

Paid bank holidays, nothing else.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend working here, esp in the Tempe location. The pay was very poor for an entry level position and the first thing I was asked when I was called by a recruiter was if the below the teens/hour rate was acceptable. They are owned by a foreign holding company and try to operate very cheap in terms of wages outside of California. They work you non stop, ie. more than two person workloads and there's no appreciation at all, it simply isn't worth what they pay. They will say you will get a bonus, but you won't. They play favorites and only handed out bonuses to 2 people on the team, one of whom was on a leave and then quit. All the good people started leaving and have all left by now. They started massive layoff's which aren't reported in the news. Pink slips are handed out every 6 months to a year to California workers, They cut many positions within the branches and operations side. Many were fearful they would get laid off so they quit their branch positions. Everyone is just treated like a cost, despite them making/holding billions of dollars each year. They are profitable the past several years yet still lay off people. They don't care, the longer you have been there the easier you will lose your job. There are better companies to work for. The low approval ratings and low recommendation % is for good reason. Keep away.

Antiquated system software. They do things in a very old school way.
