Talks the "talk" but doesn't necessarily walk the "walk" - Business Systems Analyst Capital One Employee Review

Pros

- Benefits (3 weeks PTO, sick days don't count, health, dental, vision, FSA matching...) - Work / Life Balance - Employee appreciation (Fun days, spring flings, etc...) - Training - Vision

Cons

The company puts a lot of effort into hiring the "best" and "brightest"... until there is a shortage of employees at which point many of the elements designed to screen the "less desirable" people are often thrown out the window. This is a non issue most of the time, but the company's year end review process is such that people above, below, and at your level have a say and can impact your year end rating. So if politics isn't your game then this may not be the company for you.

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
