Pros

Good money, trains can be fun. Can be very rewarding at times, and banks love to see it. Ok benefits package.

Cons

Pressure, long shifts, odd hours. Basically a contractor to the company via the Union. Not a lot of choice in how your schedule looks. Not much for vacation.

Pros

Good benefits, decent pay, good co-workers all make for a tolerable career choice. Depending on the department you have the chance for re-location across North America.

Cons

Most managers are promoted based on whom they know or on their willingness to bend rules and maximize profits. There is little leadership training and instead on-the-job learning is used. I can only speak to my experience in Operations and recommend anyone does research before hiring on. You will get a decent salary but it comes at a great personal cost.
