Pros

Renewed focus on the customer as rallying point across organization; good learning support through Institute for Learning

Cons

Seemingly constantly reorganizing in head office and back office groups, with overly drawn out periods of change, leaving employees with uncertainty, apprehension, etc. Performance review system forces people managers to fill quota of poor performers to feed the culling process.

Good place to work.

Pros

An excellent company that offers good benefits. It also provides a good work-life balance. They are pretty good about continuing education. However, a lot depends on your manager. If your manager is good, all is well. If you have a bad manager then you can have problems and it's very difficult to move to another position.

Cons

It is very hard to move up or to even make a lateral move outside your line of business. It seems that they don't have an internal strategy of cross-educating people so that you can move to another position in another area of the bank.
