Pros

HSBC Group is a great global company.

Cons

Card Services division in Salinas is awful. Morale is at absolute lowest. Group is not committed to card business in U.S. Senior Management cannot be trusted. Hypocrisy and bureaucracy at every turn. Only growth opportunities are if you are willing to go international

Pros

Very smart people, lots of global opportunities if that is compelling to you. Big company wields a lot of power with vendors so great benefits, decent vendor relationships where vendors are allowed to operate.

Cons

If you don't want to work globally, it will hamper your career progression and your opportunities. Not the best place for women, particularly those who want a work/life balance. These days, most of the growth and innovation is very limited to a couple of groups who are then pushing protocol and platforms out to other parts of the organization. If you want to be a trailbreaker, the opps are limited.

They will single you out

Pros

Pros? none. I worked for this company in and out for more than 10 years. But I cried almost everyday.

Cons

They will single you out like I said. If you are quiet person, who doesn't complain, they will take advantage of you. Like for instance, there's an emergency regarding a package or loan, even if it's 10pm, my boss will text me and tells me if I can go online to fix something. Because it's me I never say no. But when it comes to credits and bonuses and promotion, my name never mentioned. The last time I was there, in a whole team, I was the only one that did not get bonus and raise. The new people that I trained got raise and bonus. How is that fair? When I questioned them, they don't have an answer. This is a huge discrimination. HR asked me if I want to take this to higher up and possibly some settlement. They are lucky I didn't because some of the managers will lose their jobs. All I did was quit. I regret that I didn't take this further.
