Pros

Opportunity for somone right out of college. It is a great place to start. It teaches you a lot about financial services. I learned things at BONY that I didn't learn in college.

Cons

No room for advancement. Should only stay a maximum of 2 years. After 2 years, you should look for a better opportunity.

Pros

If you are looking for a job where you do the bare minimum and collect a paycheck this is the ideal place to work. Most of the people there are unmotivated and underachievers. Everyone that works there complains about how little they are paid yet very few take the steps to leave. As an initial job it ok cause you learn a lot and are exposed to various areas. But if you stay more then 2 years you get very comfortable it becomes hard to leave. The place changes you for the worst.

Cons

Its is boring and you do not use your brain

Pros

The hours are short and amount of stress minimal. If you show any initiative and stick around for a while, you can move up the ranks.

Cons

The company being known as an custodial and back-office bank offers many dead-end, government-like jobs. The staff is definitely not "best of breed" and some are borderline retarded. There are other more interesting parts of the company (e.g., private banking, asset management) but it is hard to get into from the custodian side.
