Great co-workers Fun Environment Laid-Back Atmosphere I find it to be a great and laid back place where it is easy to work and get along with people. Everyone is friendly and approachable and BNYM has great potential for growth.

Cons

Low Pay Lots of miss communications Often times I found myself lost and kept out of the loop on some minor things. Some people aren't driven and at times its discouraging

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.
