Pros

good brand, some good people in front office

Cons

incompetent middle management, the majority of whom are dangerously underqualified to work in any position of authority within banking inadequate processes for almost everything blame culture - managers will not take responsibility for anything, backstabbing, always pass the buck to someone else politics are machiavelian - performance reviews in particular I could go on and on - i completely agree with previous review - the worst place I have ever worked

Pros

Workload is manageable they don’t put too much on you. Hybrid you come into office once a week.

Cons

Some managers are nice some are not and if you have a manager who doesn’t like you it will make the job stressful. If you get a zero for QA part of your bonus will be gone and if you get 3 within a 7 month period you will have to come into office 3 days a week and be on a final and will not get a bonus, bonuses could be higher in my opinion, if your not a good collector they could be as low as $500-$700 every 3 months if your a decent collector they could be $1500 every 3 months if your a good collector they could be $2250-$3375 every 3 months but the base pay isn’t high enough either it’s 50k to 56k all around just not enough money
