Pros
Even though the financial services industry is in a tough spot right now, this is still an uplifting and fun place to work. The employees are smart, innovative and hard working. All of the facilities are beautiful and they strive to take care of their employees. The compensation process is fair and equitable and managers are trained throughout the year in order to improve their abilities. All employees are respected and heard and there is a program where the company pays a percentage of savings to those that introduce cost efficiencies into the buisness. It may be the underdog vs Visa, MasterCard and American Express but its found its niche.
Kontras
Some of the VPs have been there for too many years and like any company, there needs to be a shakeup to give others a chance to lead and innovate. Sometimes the company can be slow to get projects and products launched which means we are last to market in some cases. There is a new program that was introduced to focus on eliminating inefficient processes within teams. Not sure yet if it is working or if it has provided any tangible results. It may yet be another passing program thats here one day and gone the next. These are probably similar issues to other large corporations.
