Terrible company to work for

Pros

There are no Pros to working at BNY Mellon

Cons

Terrible Raises and Compensation. Outsourcing is bringing this company down resulting in dissatisfied clients. Employee retention is very Low, Supervisors and Managers rarely interact with employees. They have a Platform called PEAKON to rate supervisors and the supervisors pressure you to rate them a 10 in all categories so they can receive acceptable compensation but when it come to them reviewing you they dont give you the same courtesy. Raises this year were around 1 %. What a joke !!! It seems like someone is quitting every week. They pride themselves on work life balance but it is nonexistent. If you have a choice do not work here but if you must get some experience then fly out of there as soon as you can.

Pros

These days... next to none.

Cons

Anything and everything. Worked at the bank for over a decade and things have hit a new low. Salary is below industry average, benefits are average at best and being cut every year. Employee morale and job security is worse than ever; even worse than during thew great recession. BNY expects us to train new employees in India who were hired to take our jobs, with a smile. They do vastly inferior work, but I suppose mediocrity is what BNY is fine with nowadays. All of the talented employees are fleeing as if they're scrambling for the last lifeboat left on the Titanic. The few of us left in the Florida offices are working longer hours, for less compensation, with no respect from management.
