Pros

The best thing was the fact that they were always working on making you better in the sales aspect. Always training you to be better. The discount was super nice too.

Cons

After I was there for a few years you could see the favoritism more and more. You could see the unfair treatment of the way they decided promotions and stopped hiring within. I lost out on a pretty large pay increase because my General Manager was being canned and wanted to make sure the whole team suffered when he decided reviews.

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.
