Pros

none, you can find a better job else where. I quit the job even though I didn't have anything lined up and didn't qualify for unemployment because I quit; that's how bad it was.

Cons

everyone I knew worked long hours. The rookies were up to midnight most days, working on Saturdays as well. A couple of times I had to work through the night to complete cases; others said they've done the same. People worked on their cases even on their day off and unless you were taking a long vacation, caseload was added even when you were taking days off. I dissuaded people from working there. Had to summarize every type of transaction, bring in other client accounts if they were involved in suspicious activity. Limited KYC information. Manager always assumed that I was making the cases more complicated; had to argue that the previous investigator didn't do their job correctly and didn't add in all suspects.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
