Pros

up to 6% matching 401K, flexible time off however vacations start off at a paltry two weeks

Cons

- poor leadership - micro management is rampant and feels like certain managers do not genuinely care for their staff, only how they appear to their bosses and exec management - pressured to cross-sell products that clients don't need so that managers can look like they are doing their job - short term approach that counters the bank's "relationship banking" philosophy - constantly need to report calls/referrals - should look at the bottom line instead - poor technologies which create redundancies and inefficiencies. Recently invested lots of time and money training for an ineffective software that was confusing to use - credit is understaffed, therefore deal decisions are delayed
