Pros

Benefits and flexibility of schedule

Cons

Ever since the merger with Columbia the bank has gone downhill for its IT department. Working us to the bone for three months straight, with only a cheap cell phone speaker and 3 hrs at a golf range as a thank you. CEO is forcing everyone to go back to the office with no exceptions.

Merger madness creates chao

Pros

Nothing to say, they require extensive training and continue to merge banks creating un reasonable trading schedules, along with your real job.

Cons

Leadership is in a feeding frenzy. The compensation to the exec team is over 50 million after merger. These guys are the epitome of greed and chaos

Pros

Flexible schedule/working arrangements. Interesting work, awesome direct manager who does the best they can given the circumstances. Decent medical and dental benefits

Cons

Very very toxic environment here as a whole. Stay far away!!!! Risk is clearly being watered down and gutted at the direction of the CEO and new Chief Risk Officer. “Operational excellence” efforts (otherwise known as layoffs, restructuring and other bad management/strategic decisions) are being led by a very inexperienced associate who knows absolutely nothing but is good buds with the CEO. I guess it helps to be a part of the good ol’ boys network that is alive and well here. Scary times ahead for this Bank as a whole.
