Pros
The work is very low pressure. Relaxed people. Good benefits. Steady company -- credit reports are not going out of business anytime soon.. It is owned by a prominent Chicago family who comes from many years of money so there won't be funding problems. We were provided with lunch occasionally. The people that work there are very relaxed. It's typical to stop by the coffee break room and chat with someone for 20min before going back to work. My managers at least (and I think the company as a whole is like that) did not micro manage me and just let me do my own work.
Cons
Typical corporate cube atmosphere. Did not feel that the people were very motivated. 5pm and I literally heard the pens drop. If you stay until 5:20pm, the cleaner will start sweeping under your feet. The training was very short. Quite a bit security as the credit reports are private information. It did not seem that there was a great amount of career progression or at least as rapid as I would have wanted. Not a good place for young, fresh out of college as it pretty much kills your dreams and aspirations. Good for the sububanites with kids. Steady job, Decent pay check.
