Pros

Health Insurance premium paid for by the company

Cons

In this bank, corruption wasn't an anomaly; it was the very essence of the corporate culture. The CEO, hired with the singular purpose of grooming a major stockholder's son for the top job, proved a master of deflection. He heavy-handedly shifted the blame for the young scion's catastrophic blunders onto unsuspecting employees. The bank's mismanagement was so profound that its *** rating was downgraded by the regulators. In a desperate attempt to right the ship, the CEO appointed a close friend to a senior leadership role. This decision, however, proved disastrous: the friend's incompetence caused repeated, significant delays in the publication of annual reports. More over, this friend is not known for ethics or honesty --- the bank's treasurer fled to avoid having to sign off on the books, and his replacement escaped within a week. Meanwhile, the CEO paid the consulting firm KPMG millions of dollars, despite their consistent failure to complete a single project successfully. The board, for reasons that remain unclear, launched no investigation into the potential kickbacks the CEO may have received.

Massive Corruption, Dysfunctional Board

Pros

CEO is loyal to 3% of the stock holder-a man who controls 3% of the stock. The rest of the stock holders are ignored. He helps make sure the son of that 3% stock holder becomes the next generation CEO. CEO is loyal to the consulting firm he used to work for---he gives that firm millions of dollars of worth of business with zero quality control and I am sure he gets no kickback.

Cons

The board is completely dysfunctional. They allows all the corruption to happen right under their nose. They even allow the CEO to cover it all up by firing the head of audit and the Chief Risk Officer.
