Svantaggi
Expect to find tons of development opportunities to work in different departments, lead new hires and work on project teams, but do not expect to get paid for any of it. Capital has a clever way of making you think you are valued by giving you a multitude of “opportunities” only to send you right back to where you came from with the same pay. You are really just a cheaper resource that they can and will utilize where there is “business need”. This rarely leads to any type of advancement in position or pay. The raise structure will allow an associate to outperform the majority of associates, but only receive 1-2% more than an average associate because of the cookie cutter structure. There is no incentive to work harder for an entire year to make 1% more than an associate who just shows up to work everyday. Also, don’t expect a straight answer from management or anyone above. “More to come” is as precise as it gets.
