Pros

I had some great coworkers, and we supported each other. I also had some great employees who were wonderful to work with.

Cons

Our manager was terrible. He would take every opportunity to insert his rude and sexist opinion. He did not understand at all what it was like to do our jobs and did not appreciate what we did for the company. Also, recognition was terrible in the company overall. Literally, if you did a good job, you would be nominated to receive a "U Rock Award," which was just a little verbal recognition on a company call, a paper certificate, and a pebble with the letter "U" painted on it. Terrible. No incentive to do well at all. Plus if you stood out too much and tried to go above and beyond for the company, management would hammer you down to stay within your job description. Also, it's very hard to advance anywhere in this company. You have to wait for someone to retire or leave the company, since there is very little growth. Salary is not enough given the duties involved. Bonuses are non existent. Do not expect a high compensation. For most of my time there, I sat in a one person branch. There was no one else besides me working in the office. There were times when I did not feel safe since the office was in a dangerous city. The culture was also not very family friendly at all.

Pros

Virtual, work from home position. The pay was great, the hours were great, they work with you and are very flexible, can always pick up shifts if you have under 40 hours, (you're scheduled 40 hours but if you miss a day that week) you can pick up another shift from the board

Cons

There aren't any cons that I can think of at this time.
