      Pros

      - Good pay relative to the market. - Some of the folks are good to work with (but some others are snakes) - The new facilities are nice. - Good benefits. - They are making a concerted effort to replace their payday products with more consumer-friendly installment loan products.

      Cons

      Because the payday lending industry is so heavily regulated, the reactionary (almost panicked) direction changes are constant. On top of that, everyone lives in fear of Jay (the CEO), and he often has unrealistic expectations for what "must" be done in a given time frame. This inability to listen to reason creates a ton of stress down the chain that results in a lot of finger pointing and over-worked employees.

      Pros

      Great culture, awesome benefits, great work life balance! Populus and it's really cares about their employees. They are always looking for ways to improve overall employee engagement and satisfaction. They allow for a hybrid working schedule and offers a generous PTO plan. Leadership is supportive and understanding, encouraging open dialogue and transparency. Glad I work here.

      Cons

      I have no Cons to speak of.

      Pros

      No future vision or loyalty.

      Cons

      Toxic environment with maybe the worst pay discrepancy in the business. No future.
