Pros

Great senior leadership and management when it was under GE Capital. Many of the senior leaders remain, so I'd assume that the GE culture has carried over. There's really a culture of leadership and professional development here with Leadership 360's and leadership training. HR and your managers often have proactive discussions with you when it comes to career development. Obviously, you still have to drive your own career, but they certainly provide the resources, training and assuming that you perform well, the opportunities, as well. There's an emphasis on rounding out your skill sets to position you for "that next job." Other pros: 1) Well-developed business processes in place, such as the 1 and 3-year strategic planning reviews. 2) Great sense of camaraderie across the functions. Everyone is generally willing to help and support you. It feels like an army marching to the beat of the same drum. 3) The Marketing function really drives the bus here, but there are healthy debates with the other functions (Risk, Finance, Legal, etc.) 4) Compensation is competitive. Health insurance could've been better. 5) Good work-life balance. Ability to work from home occasionally.

Cons

1) Since the company is so mature, they are not always the first to innovate, but once they put their resources behind an initiative, they can play catch-up quickly. 2) Be prepared to possibly move every few years in order to move ahead in your career. Synchrony's approach of having teams co-located with their clients means that there are many smaller teams scattered across the country. Additionally, there are major HQ offices and centers of excellence in Connecticut, Ohio, Georgia and Illinois.
