Worst job experience in my entire life.

Pros

The benefits are on par with the industry, and Capital One does support it's sales people through bonuses and aggressive marketing.

Cons

The transition from Chevy Chase Bank to Capital One Bank was not only ineptly planned and executed, but was a giant step in the wrong direction for both the customers and employees. I have never, ever, dealt with so many dissatisfied customers in my life, or seen so many confused and disgruntled employees. I have three decades of job experience and I can honestly say this is the worst job experience in my life. (Note: my comments apply to the banking side only. The card side, under the leadership of Ryan Schneider, seems to be a well run and positive environment).

Pros

-Decent Pay/Benefits -Flexible work arrangements -High Quality Co-Workers -Nice Facilities -Spends money to keep up moral

Cons

-People tend to over analyze projects and people can make analysis match the desired outcome -Horrible IT (It's a wonder this company is still in business considering how much they rely on IT) -Promotions are very political (If you have a manager who won't fight for you then forget about getting promoted. Also, young analyst are promoted based on seniority. Once you have 18 months, you get promoted no matter how much you suck) -Good analysts do not necessarily make good managers. People managers should have people skills! -Company seems like they do not learn from previous mistakes. They seem to be willing to go down the same path that previously got them in trouble. Especially if their has been a change in management.
