Learned a lot about research and finding misapplied payments
I had good supervisors the 11 1/2 years I was there.
I enjoyed the co-workers, made life long friendships, still in contact with many of them
The hardest part of the job was having computer programmers etc want to make changes – more... to a system that wasn't broke and trying to explain to someone that didn't do the actual work..why their idea wouldn't work.
The most enjoyable part of the job was when I logged off the computer at the end of the day, the job did not go home with me. – less

Excellent company that unfortunately no longer exists. Very fair in employee treatment.

The over all work environment is pleasant, the company as a whole is very structured and formal. There is a lot of good old boy attitude that distracts from the work

It was good, but I was only there a year before bought out by Verizon
