Pros

A bank which is promoted fairly quickly, has several courses that offer us benefits like health insurance, food (400us, but the basic food basket in Brazil is 360us), dental plan, and reimbursement of fuel (13 cents per mile, but a liter of fuel in Brazil is $ 1.5).

Cons

Requires a lot of staff do not have time to do all service demand, not simply dismiss staff and hire other and put you, which is already overloaded, to make the service who was fired. Goals that multiply by 5 or 6 every month, endless meetings that take our already scarce time. Bullying is also very large, up buy 100% of its target, it will come next month multiplied, and if you do not, your boss will bullyng you.

Pros

I ended my two years here in IT, but I began in the call center. I had no IT background; the company wanted to promote from within.

Cons

SCUSA’s business plan is to bleed customers and to punish those who deviate from expectations. This philosophy is applied also to employees in the call center (by far the largest aspect of the company); the company bleeds them of time, energy, and talent, hoping they’ll quit before becoming benefits-eligible. There are no raises anywhere in the company, bonuses are frequently denied on obscure technicalities, and work schedules are intentionally burdensome. Everyone is either miserable or angry; dozens come and go seemingly weekly, company-wide. SCUSA exploits an IT department populated by immigrants utterly chained to their employer; few are broadly knowledgeable about technologically or even basic business practices (or even intermediate English), while most are essentially captive labor. There is also a tendency to fire IT workgroups after pet projects are completed or cancelled, meaning IT employment is only reliable in three-week increments-- happened to me after two years.
