Pros

Payments as business sector, is booming.

Cons

In the face of record profits, leadership reduced annual compensation by more than 6% by discontinuing a popular pension plan. This decision was communicated in a ham-fisted manner which left employees with few answers on why this happened and how. Benefits meetings were cancelled and rescheduled to small rooms which allowed for limited Q&A. It was a jerk move. You need to ask yourself how you will ever be able to trust a team of leaders who get paid 1,000x more than you, when they make moves like this.

Pros

Nice people, fairly stable company. Generally not as high burn as technology. It is a “fine” place to work.

Cons

Pretty political and going through major organizational design where you can’t get promoted unless someone quits or gets fired. No real upward career path past the Director level. Everything moving to low cost locations and flattening, talent is slightly above middle of the pack.
