Pros

Good name to put on a resume (maybe).

Cons

Every year people are supposed to have reviews with their managers and they are supposed to receive their salary increases and bonuses. NO SALARY INCREASES whatsoever, regardless of the long nights, constant pressure and stress, and increasing chaos. To add salt to the wound, BONUSES WERE INSULTING. It does not matter how efficient you are and how much you improve the processes and how well you work with others. Nothing matters because in the end YOU WILL NOT GET REWARDED FOR ANY HARD WORK. All management cares about is staying late, falsely assuming that more hours will result in more work being done. People are tired of this, which is why they are flying out of this firm. Morale is low. Compensation is worse than any other bank. Talent is moving on to better firms, that's for sure. If you want to love your job, don't come here. You will not only hate your job here, you will also hate your life.

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
