inhumane HR policies

Pros

very big, following BNY/Mellon merger of 2007

Cons

Quick to lay off the most long-standing employees to save money. Now have separation policy whereby laid off employees can't work while receiving separation pay -- otherwise they forfeit it. This harms those most who gave many years to the company (they are of course usually the oldest also). So, a double case of age discrimination.

No promotions, career paths, or incentives to work harder

Pros

Casual work environment, pleasant coworkers here in the trenches

Cons

People who are long overdue for promotions (by 2 plus years) are told that there is a 'promotion freeze'. Upper management admitted the freeze was not one of the best decisions they've made, and as a result, talked about reversing the freeze. That never happened. As a result, they are losing valuable employees to other companies. One sure thing - this company is really good at talking the talk, not walking the walk.
