-Skeleton crews across most stores self-limiting growth & causing distress to both coworkers/clients. -Training has become a rushed afterthought instead of investing in ensuring new & current hires are setup for success. -Poor Management lacking ability to push back on bad corporate initiatives & failure always is on frontline employees "not doing enough" leading to low morale. -Declining operational health due to outsourcing labor for services & delayed resolution of issues versus company's past before current CEO. -No clear mission statement for future of company creating fear of job security due to quarterly to bi-quarterly cuts that come out of nowhere.

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.
