Pros

Pension, Christmas Bonus, Profit Sharing. You'll notice that these are consistently the only three positives.

Cons

Absolutely the worst management I've ever witnessed. When you bring this to the attention of the company, you are literally black balled from any kind of advancement....doesn't matter how good you are as an employee. Management does not follow the core values....in other words....they don't know how to lead by example. Your raises will be a joke, and don't even think about trying to negotiate for more. I once brought my current position guidelines into a review, and had my so called manager go through each one with me. I was told that I met or exceeded all of the goals. I then hit this manager with a number I needed to be at for a salary. Keep in mind....this manager had already agreed that I go above and beyond. He basically laughed in my face, and I received a below average raise. Below average for doing above average work. The amount of damage that this company does to the moral and spirit of individuals is alarming. I finally just quit, and found a better job. Loyalty means nothing to them. What they are looking for are robots that say yes to everything they have to say. If you're strong willed, driven, passionate, and pro-active, you'll go nowhere. They just won't allow that. If you're ok with mediocrity, and dysfunction, then you'll fit right in. When it's all said and done....this company has a toxic culture, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Pros

Pension. Made great friends working in the branch.

Cons

Low pay. Under appreciated. Higher-ups do not care about the safety or well being of their employees. In bad weather they would rather risk the lives of their employees than have a branch close for the day, or have a two hour delay in a snow storm. Profit for the Senior VP's is all they care about. The underwriting job can be done from home, and we have the capability to work from home (laptops) but it is not allowed even when our lives are in danger during bad weather. You either take a personal/vacation day, or you risk your safety to get into work, and even then you will most likely risk getting in trouble for being late when it is a blizzard out. This is also a very slow progressing company. Many branches did not even have internet for their employees until 2010/2011... women were required to wear tights/stockings until the late 2010's... very slow evolving company in general.

Pros

Truly kind and genuinely down to earth people focused on doing a good job. Little to no politics (in my division) management has your back and wants to see you develop and succeed. Compensation and fulfilling projects are very generous when you go above and beyond.

Cons

Company culture is resistant to explore changes sometimes but to be fair this can vary from division to division.
