Pros

The learning lounges were a gold mine of information and i liked that it tested your knowledge and you could print out job aids.

Cons

I was suppose to transfer to another store that was closer to my house. The manager said everything was good and had taken me off the schedule. When i called the transfer store they didn't know what I was talking about and told me to put in an application. ???? So i did, and the manager from the alabaster store said she would talk/send email to the GM and to the other managers telling them i am to transfer. I couldn't get anyone to talk to me for 2 weeks. Suddenly I get an email stating that they were seeking other candidates...and I was out of a job....seriously messed up.

Pros

-It's a job that is available in most locations.

Cons

-The company, on a corporate level, doesn't seem to grasp the value of the talent they have. - Close ties with Citibank subvert the importance of product knowledge, customer service, and revenue for credit card sales. - Daily Performance check-ins are overbearing and myopic. - Tends to burnout motivated employees with false carrots and hollow promises. - Pay's terrible, and rides the line of predatory at times.
