Pros
After submitting application, it only took about one week before I had a confirmed start date. First day day training was engaging and helpful, and was supplemented incredibly well by the first month of paid training. Now that I have been with the company for just under a year now I have seen some amazing things that I have never seen in a company I'll keep it as brief as possible. Since my start with the company I have seen that the work I put in is not only rewarded with more responsibility, and possibilities, but also, acknowledgment from my direct supervisor and peers about a job well done. The culture at Alliance Data truly inspires my absolute best work. I also had a bout with cancer that lasted some time when my schedule had to be adjusted in quick and sometimes unpredictable ways. The company worked with my schedule, but more importantly they encouraged me and reminded me how excellent an employee I was to have, and how much they couldn't wait to have me back @ 100%. Warmed my heart.
Cons
The only con is not with the company. The only con that I can really present is this; the attitude of some of your fellow co-workers can be particularly negative at times. Although not insurmountable, it can present a challenge to staying positive. Not to worry! The negatrons work their way out, allowing the optimist primes to do some real good.
