Pros

Great benefits, most coworkers become your family.

Cons

If you want to get a promotion or get the opportunity to advance to another department you have to be great with politics. It’s not about your work ethic, years of experience, knowledge or by dominating your interview. Also the pay for what your job entails is way below what you deserve. Unless if you’ve succeeded in the politics within management then you most likely will get better pay. Also if your close with management and they like you, you’ll be able to get away with anything. Outcomes will be in your favor wether you abide by company rules and regulations or not. You’re only held accountable for your actions when you’re not close with management.

Morale is at an all-time low, integration with Capital One has caused significant anxiety and confusion.
