Pros

Although many great people have been RIF'd perhaps due to necessity, many talented employees remain and have now assumed, unfortunately, intense workloads. Evansville is a great place to live with small town benefits of easy commutes, low crime, low housing costs, and great schools. If the company can stabilize and get to new owners via an IPO, then perhaps a once great company can survive and prosper.

Cons

Company has and is losing money for a variety of reasons - poor economy, restricted access to capital, inventory of non-performing loans, etc. It's a toss up whether they'll survive. Prior senior management have been replaced and the new CEO installed in 2010 is erratic, unpredictable, has never managed a company of this size or complexity, and has a prior record of failure. Company culture is in rapid transition, throwing out many good practices/controls in the name of change. Given the instability, many existing employees are looking for their next job while they still have one.

Pros

Employee Appreciation in awards and acknowledgment. Great employee benefits, especially maternity leave.

Cons

The hours for the call center was later than I would've liked but it was understandable for the industry.

Pros

Your peers. I have a great group of co-workers though multiple have left because of HORRIBLE direct management in the AM department.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Tricky incentives. Shark like environment. Terrible and I mean TERRIBLE managers. Favoritism runs rampant at this place and goes unchecked. Lazy, incompetent department manager makes up his own rules (you MUST use your break time to go the bathroom) which goes endorsed by his superiors and HR. Reward people who live at that place and work insane OT hours because of the low pay, but crap on people working the normal amount of hours because you’re based on the “average”. Truly one of the worst management staffs I have ever seen coupled with lackadaisical training and one of the dumbest rules I’ve ever heard of…you must be at One Main for ONE ENTIRE YEAR before you can transfer out of the department or move up. Trust me when I say run as far away as you can from this place.
