Constant Direction Changes

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Pros

- Good pay relative to the market. - Some of the folks are good to work with (but some others are snakes) - The new facilities are nice. - Good benefits. - They are making a concerted effort to replace their payday products with more consumer-friendly installment loan products.

Cons

Because the payday lending industry is so heavily regulated, the reactionary (almost panicked) direction changes are constant. On top of that, everyone lives in fear of Jay (the CEO), and he often has unrealistic expectations for what "must" be done in a given time frame. This inability to listen to reason creates a ton of stress down the chain that results in a lot of finger pointing and over-worked employees.
