Pros

If you're looking to gain experience/build a resume it's a good starter job. Just dont stay too long. I was with PNC Global Investments for 10 years before BNY Mellon bought them out in 2010

Cons

Medical Benefits suck, Disability Management Company sucks, Annual Raises dont even cover my coffee budget.

The Janitor of Wall Street

Pros

Even people who are lazy or dimwitted can still earn decent pay here for very little work in return. If you are lazy or dimwitted it could be the ideal place for you.

Cons

The "bank" is mainly a custodian (yes, like a janitor) for real banks and investment managers. i.e., Their job is to do all the crap back office work the real money managers of the world won't waste their time on, because they are too busy getting rich. BNY doesn't do banking as much as it is does fee based operational work. Their focus is cost containment so they can't provide the fat pay days you can get by working at a real bank. As a result the people that work there are the rejects of Wall Street, people who have the greed but not the talent to work in a real banking job.

Pros

Positive work-life balance. Fellow co-workers make things bearable. NOT a cut throat environment among the "worker-bees".....for management, that might be a different story..

Cons

ZERO room for promotion, growth and even lateral transfer. If you are non-management and are hired for "position A" - you will work in that position forever.
