Pros

Very easy job. Good work life balance. Great training programs for someone looking to learn about the banking industry. Management always treated staff with a high level of respect. They are extremely committed to changing the culture to one focused on sales and customer service. If you like dealing with people the bank will love you. Brand seems to be revitalized.

Cons

Boring, repetitive work with limited upside as far as compensation goes. The benefits package I received was not as good as the previous financial institution that I worked at which was really frusturating. I mentioned that the bank provides good training programs asa positive but it is not willling to cover the cost of outside educational opportunities Ie cfa mba etc.

Pros

The people are great to work with for the most part BMO is still hiring new grads from college (although the training is sub-par)

Cons

Outdated internal systems hinder productivity Upper Management follows a "drink the kool-aid" mentality where they constantly promote all the great things the bank is doing while hard questions are never asked or answered and there is no feedback on the integration of systems. The seamless integration of M&I is doubted by many BMO employees as the existing issues of the bank go unanswered.
