Pros

There is exponential room for growth if you are consistent and hard-working. The benefits are awesome. Having a normal 8-5 (ish), M-F schedule and holidays demonstrates BOK's commitment to work/life balance. There is almost always some sort of perk available to us--discounted tickets to a play, exclusive family night at the zoo or WinterFest ice skating rink, drawings for free tickets, etc. It's heartwarming, too, to work for a company that is so involved in the community through organizations like United Way.

Cons

I am sometimes frustrated with the systems we use at work. They're not exactly streamlined and there can be times where it seems like there are far too many systems involved in one task. Companies I have previously worked for (that, to be fair, are larger) had more efficient programs and technology.

Pros

You get bank holidays although they take several 3 day weekends a year from IT personnel to accomplish DR events. Recently gone causal at the BTC where most IT are.

Cons

You will most likely work a tremendous amount of hours without much reward as they run extremely lean on the number of employees. They rarely fully implement large applications to their fullest potential so lots of things like Asset Management and other ITIL needs are non existent. Management is mostly nice but scared of recent security changes which were implemented poorly, fast, and with almost no guidelines or documented “rules” and management is to scared to push back and fight for employees now. So worklife balance is bad and you really have little backup if something gets questioned.
