Pros

Good work/life balance, flexibility, general amicability among peers and managers

Cons

Low ceiling on advancement opportunities unless you manage to schmooze your way into 'the club' by living near and hanging out with 'the club' outside of work. Also, promotions are given all too often according to time spent on the job regardless of performance resulting in less talented staff reaping the same reward as outstanding employees. Culture has become more 'in the box' since BNY started steering the ship - less enjoyable, less challenging, less quality in our products.

Pros

Supervisors and regular employees are awesome, and you get to learn Excel

Cons

EVERYTHING!!!! Upper management is condescending at best, salary is way below minimum for any position in the bank. Merit increases the last two years have been 1% or lower. If you start your career here you will be at a disadvantage, and feel like you are sitting at a classroom at Devry or Katherine Gibbs. I left, and so did 90% of my friends, like I said in the headlines at all costs stay away, and if you are there, get out and stay out, and enjoy real salaries with real incentives
