*BLESSED* That I No Longer Work Here

Pros

There are no pros; in fact, if I could give no stars, I would. Don't be fooled by their casual dress code, popcorn machines, and "spirit days." The horror of this company is masked behind trivial nonsense. I ran from here the first chance I got.

Cons

Where do I begin? I had BAD vibes my very first week, and they turned out to be accurate. All of my colleagues and managers were extremely condescending, rude and manipulative. Everyone is very quick to place blame on others to get the heat off their own back, since everyone is so "overworked." I have never encountered such a lack of teamwork in my life - everything is always a problem, and everybody just wants to argue with each other. Trust me though, they'll try to talk quietly in front of new employees so they don't scare them off. They'll also shove their "high trust" culture down your throat, which is comical based on the reality of this place. There's a ton of micro-management that goes on, and a great deal of being told to do things that are completely not within your job scope. Everyone there thinks they are entitled to have a secretary since they are too ignorant to do anything themselves. The turnover here is outrageous, and now I know why. Don't make the same mistake I did - AVOID this place at all costs. Horrible company. Horrible people.

nice people to work with. I had a really good time going to work there and really enjoyed my time there but I was as a contractor.

Cons

For me it was that I was there as a contractor but it was a really good opportunity

Pros

There is a tremendous amount of energy around continuous improvement in terms of organizational effectiveness, culture and the employee value proposition, and the company has made great strides in the 18 months since I joined. From the top down, positive change is evident everywhere, and we're really reinventing North American Bancard.

Cons

As with any large organization, change takes time, and employees are sometimes quick to focus on the negative rather than seek to understand how they can positively impact change. However, our focus on trust in the workplace is a solid, proven framework for helping to bring about that change. If you don't embrace change or deep commitment to organizational success, then this isn't the place for you.
