Pros

San Diego location was ideal. Call center employed many local residents. Home office in Illinois was more advanced when it came to training facilities and programs to advance the skills of the leadership teams.

Cons

Management support for training not really there. Promotions within the San Diego office were questionable. The human resources team must have been a "green" team without much experience. I witnessed interactions and conversations that should have been held as confidential that were discussed openly. This did not create an environment that compelled associates to reach out to the human resources group when a problem really did occur. The HR Director at the time was very stringent and I did not see her becoming a business partner with other leaders at the site.

Pros

Excellent Benefits. Decent employment stability. Tough economy now, limited opportunities are available in the job place. HSBC has an excellent benefit package that includes tuition reimbursement. This could alllow one to continue their education while working. Good overall health and other benefits as well. One of the few companies left that actually has a pension plan

Cons

Below average compensation and advancement opportunities

Pros

Global company but good luck going global if you are less than district manager. Good luck becoming district manager within first 10 years of employment. Benefits are thr best and tme off allowance is great.

Cons

Hours we work are long. There is no support from middle managment and when it is time to take a fall branch manager is the on- unless you are the favorite of one of the higher ups. In that case you can do what you want. Not good company for women small percentages get anywhere and many women managers go through much more scruitny than men.
