Pros

I really enjoy the flexibilty in work schedules and the total benefits package provided. The work schedules include condensed schedules and even work from home options. The benefits package includes great medical, dental, and vision insurance. There are other benefits that you can use as needed such as commuter plans and educational assistance.

Cons

The best of the best work at Capital One, and therefore there is a lot of competition all around which can be high stress. The good news is that this competition can also allow for a creative work enviroment. Management is well aware of the stress levels and also provide a lot of support.
