Pros

Not many at this point in time. And yes, I am looking for a new job.

Cons

The company is slashing employee benefits at a time when profits are booming. The pension has been frozen resulting in essentially a 6% pay reduction. But hey, they could have just cashed us out so we are just being ingrates, right? Insurance costs have risen 15-20% due to "potential cadillac taxes" due to ObamaCare. Yet when the numbers are actually looked at, Visa is well within it ranges and many of these taxes won't apply. Despite numerous, NUMEROUS queries from employees requesting a discussion about how these decisions were reached there is nothing but a deafening silence from management.No reason to responds since they got their bonuses which range in the millions. Don't beleive it? Just check the SEC filings. The slogan around here is that Visa wants to be the "Employer of Choice". Yet by their own admission freezing the pension alone takes us from #! in recent business surveys to #5. What exactly is the choice being made here? Be another face in the crowd of employers? Don't fall for it people.

Corporate greed - Visa Execs sell out employees

Pros

Visa employees are stronger together. The employees who built this company have the courage to stand up to management to express the unethical, unfair, and heartless robbing of our financial security.

Cons

It's been a rough two weeks. Pension cuts. Increasing healthcare costs. Insensitive leadership not responding to employees pleas for explanation. Visa employees feel betrayed, disrespected, disposable, and lied to.

Pros

There are some amazing people at Visa. Most of the people I knew who were though, weren't given nearly the credit they deserved. Many had been there a long time and understood the payments industry in a profound way. Bringing in new talent can be a great boon to a business trying to lead on the edge. But respect the brains that got you there in the first place, and make external hiring and internal promotion both options for building a strong executive team. It's an exciting industry and the outlook for Visa in the years to come is solid. There are many competitors vying for the rich profits in this space, but the brand is extremely strong and I can't imagine a scenario where they don't exist. That's not something you can say about all companies in this arena.

Cons

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower," (Steve Jobs) and Visa needs to LEAD. I mean really think up new approaches. They have the resources, and I'm not sure why it isn't happening. I can't quite put my finger on what is wrong with the culture at Visa, but something is. As the Peter Drucker attributed saying goes, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," and something needs to change within the inner framework of the company. When you walk the floors, people don't seem to be connected to one another. There isn't an open, collaborative and collegial approach to work in many cases. And that will have to change to make Visa viable in the long term, because that does exist at the competition.
