Pros

Good 401 matching benefit. That's it.

Cons

Absolutely no room for growth. No culture whatsoever. Managers don't care at all. Employees strive to do the least amount of work possible because they know management won't fire them. Understaffed and overworked. Do not take this job.

Pros

Offered free coffee, tea, water from machines in break rooms. Group parties (Sundae day, potlucks, sports celebrations) Health Insurance, matching 401K contributions, Cafeteria on site for food purchases

Cons

Overly demanding to some employees, while favoritism to others. Severely underpaid for the stress of work expected. Very catty behavior at times, whispers behind the back, backstabbing. Many had no problem throwing a coworker under the bus for their own advancement. Management especially Vice Presidents of departments were extremely immature and did not know how to speak professionally to employees. Threats were used as a means to get things done. Unnecessary multiple titles in each department- this would have been fine if people were getting the assistance they needed when overwhelmed. But instead, this was just an excuse to push more of the work onto the lower paid employees. Sadly, due to the lack of training for employees and Managers, the turnaround here is absurdly high and contrary to belief, they just want to fill a seat and aren't concerned about the the person's experience, or qualifications.

Pros

BNY Mellon typically hires young people in the space; so, you often get slot of energy in the Work place. Located right down town under the T station. Solid 9-5 for the most part.

Cons

Absolutely a sweat shop of sorts. Falling behind in the market value for entry level college educated peoples. Typically will pay 30% less than the market average. High turnover and a very fast paced environment from the moment you walk in to around lunchtime. Very little room for error in the work space— so, be prepared to be challenged for very little compensation.
