No incentives to perform.

Pros

Can be very easy to cruise along doing mediocre work as no one seems to care about anything..

Cons

No incentives for hard workers and high performers.. Bank supports bare minimum work quality and pays bare minimum compensation. While this works for generating earnings, it is encumbering for talented employees

Pros

- My co-workers are / were all hard-working folks that went above and beyond everyday for the company.

Cons

- Things shifted about 4 years ago. In my case, managers were replaced with people that may have been talented but seemed to have never worked with people before. Rude and obnoxious to those that report to them. Manager should not need to yell / berate employees one on one or in public. Should not silently mock (make faces) while employees that are dialed in are speaking. - CEO pushed for open work areas, eliminated WFH, some WFH employees were let go only to have CEO opinion about WFH reversed after lawsuits. - Company policy to rate employees has changed over the years. At one point I was told 'meets expectation' became the new 'exceeds expectations'. More recently managers told they must give some percentage of employees 'below expectation' rating . - Morale low due to constant threat of layoffs

Pros

I really liked working at BNY Mellon until the hired new CEO and everything went downhill. Good benefits.

Cons

I was laid off after 5 years of service. In smaller offices no opportunities for advancement.
