      Pros

      Work life balance is ok

      Cons

      Work life balance (you pay will be significantly less than market) It's too laid back here The company does not cross train employees Managers do not offer promotions Systems are antiquated Information is not shared with other groups There will be no one to train you and at the end of the year it will be held against you (because that makes sense) The bank is insanely cheap TAG is terrible responding to requests Knowledge and hard work does not translate to a better salary or bonus If you try to move to a different role your manager will block you If you come here negotiate as high as you can on both salary and title

      Mediocre Place

      Pros

      A handful of people are genuinely smart and professional. Location.

      Cons

      No synergy, horrible attitudes, condescending employees. Sales people pretend to be dumb to get out of work, management applauds it. The place is run by paper managers who were friends in college and decided to hook each other up with a job. They do nothing. They communicate very little downwards. The place is a house of cards.

      Pros

      The people I worked with (not managers) were great. They made a very stressful work environment easier with jokes and snacks. The applause points you receive from team challenges, positive reviews etc. are great, you can cash them in for gift cards or products. (I got a lot of movie passes and a hairdryer) They give you benefits from day one of training! I got new glasses in my 2nd week of training.

      Cons

      The job is super stressful! Call after call with angry customers threatening/yelling at you because of someone else's mistake (usually the branch) that you can't fix. Working weekends means that nothing you do for the customer will actually process that day as it takes 2-3 business days. When the branch messes up they have no accountability and it can count as a negative review for you. Micro managers that harass you over your stats even when you are making the stats! What's the point of making the stats if you still get harassed about it?
