Pros

Good vacation - start with 3 weeks (4 weeks after 2yrs) plus 3 or 4 "personal days", most holidays off (follows NYSE schedule), telecommuting (allowed 1 day per week), flexible shifts (arrive between 6-9am and leave between 2:30-5:30pm). Managers are extrememly flexible around needing to leave early or arrive late for appointments and family matters.

Cons

Pay increases and bonus' are a joke. Limited to none for opportunity to work in other areas, despite what they say. Management plays very obvious "favorites" to the extent where promotions dont make a bit of sense. Starting salary tends to be decent; however, starting salary of new hires tends to be more than pay increases. High turnover. Retention of talent is extremely poor.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
