Pros

It was an easy job that paid higher than usual for the type of position. Good amount of vacation time.

Cons

The company has flex time but makes you schedule it so in emergencies you are stuck to sick time which is only 5 days a year. During the pandemic they didn’t even provide masks but stayed open the entire time. Gave hope and equipment for working from home but then it never happened. I went on maternity leave right when the pandemic was starting and they waited till 2 days before I was supposed to return to work to inform me that I was being laid off. Then when my furlough was set to end they told me less than a week before that they were downsizing. The pandemic really showed how little this company cares for its employees.

The steps that we have taken and continue to take in response to COVID follow CDC and state guidelines to provide a safe environment for our team members and customers. We offered remote work options where we could but COVID-19 impacted our business and we had to close some branches and furlough some of our workforce. We offered assistance to all employees and retained all team members’ health insurance during their furlough. In connection with non-remote operations, we have required and provided masks along with additional PPE to customers and employees, limited capacity in branches, and enforced social distancing. If you have questions about the benefits you received, please email us your full name and phone number at hrsocialmedia@omf.com so we can contact you directly. -AS

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.
