Pros

Great salary, Great employee's, Great benefits, Great Employee parties. Wonderful training, PayPal is breaking ground as to how to ensure a good employee turn around from training to production. !:1's and Team Huddles, weekly, are such a benefit to the employee's, and an open door policy with all management staff is someone tot talk about.

Cons

I was fired for an incident that happened outside of work, that involved a work product.. The PayPal Debit card. Long story short, My brother was killed by the phoenix police department. I had a hard time dealing with this, and I was meet with 3 days of paid time off, if I had the paid time off to match the time off. Then began the struggle. I had to go through FMLA and battle with the 3rd party disability leave company that eBay uses to handle their disability claims. I won that battle, and when I came back, "ready" as much as their disability company would allow me to be(read as intensive counseling, and soul searching.) I cam back, and resumed employment. Shortly after(maybe a week or two), I went out with a friend who wanted to talk about my loss. I ended up spending entirely too much(220$ on my bar tab exclusively). When I went to use my PayPal Debit card(which was recommended by my employer as a way to get familiar with company products), It was declined. I did the same thing that any other red blooded american would do, and I called the number on the back of my card. Now I was frustrated, but in relatively good spirits, all thins considered. After the bad representative I spoke with basically stated, there is nothing she will do to help me, I said, I cant believe you would not try to help me, because I help customers like this every day. That's when the call took a turn for the worse, instead of trying to resolve my problem, the rep I spoke with went about capturing as much non-payment related info as they could about my employement there, and filed a claim with their manager. Two weeks later, I was terminated saying that, "My candor outside of work was not congruent with the image PayPal wanted to present to its clients" For the record, I have no ill will towards the rep that resulted in my inproper termination. I say Improper because the Department of Economic Security agreed, and payed me unemployement.
