Pros

None. At all. Trash job.

Cons

I worked there for 8 years, and it was a constant struggle. I had great audit scores, I was always within TAT, and I provided training. I was constantly disrespected and ostracized for trying to do my best with no reward. After 5 years of being a "top performer" with no recognition I started to get bitter. The coworkers are also horrific and wouldn't pee on you if you were on fire. Just mean girl, old white hag mentality that gets you promotions and I just couldn't be that person. Almost a year later and I don't have anxiety anymore or depression. This job is NOT worth it. It's not. I'm thriving elsewhere and appreciated.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
