Pros

(1) Bank of New York Mellon lockbox is always hiring. (2) The now hiring sign helps employees find the turn in to the employee parking area (3) Dental insurance option has a 90/10 plan

Cons

Management is demeaning. lack of interpersonal/management skills at the Richardson, TX location. Things to expect at BNY Mellon's lockbox: Mandatory Overtime Mandatory Work all your days off Mandatory work an additional 2-hours during the week Plan your vacation for the entire year by end of Jan with vacation based on seniority Management tends to focus on issues and problems with people (negatives) as opposed to focusing on solutions and value the employees bring to the business. Morale overall is low at this location in Richardson, TX. Location has a high attrition rate. Poor communication.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.

Pros

The company has many talented and dedicated employees who genuinely care about their work and supporting their teams. Collaboration among colleagues has historically been a strong point, and many employees bring valuable experience and knowledge to the organization.

Cons

Morale has declined due to leadership decisions that appear to prioritize short-term financial goals and executive incentives over long-term stability and employee retention. Experienced employees have been laid off and replaced with new hires at lower salary levels. This has resulted in the loss of institutional knowledge and increased workloads for remaining staff. There is a growing perception among employees that leadership is more focused on financial metrics and executive compensation than on investing in the talented, loyal workforce that helped build the company.
