Pros

There is quite some benefits working at HSBC. Affordable medical and dental coverage especially for those with family. Great pension plan, 401K, FSA, company matched pension after a year of service.

Cons

Hardly will you ever get a pay raise because it's a 'pay per performance oriented company'. The more you sell, the more you make money. Don't pay for overtime, you will have to adjust hours to make up for overtime which could be such a hassle especially when you're short handed.
