Pros

The flexibility is nice. The people are nice. Overtime is a thing that exist in the department I'm in which is nice.

Cons

The pay is lower than every other financial institution in the surrounding area; even though they'll tell you it's not. BNY is a stepping stone company where you learn the basics to go to another company for more money.

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.
