Pros

I can’t think of anything

Cons

Management is saying they are working to change culture here to more performance driven. Their actions are extreme and jarring not gaining any employee buy in whatsoever. Established employees think working 50 or 60 hours a week is the way to handle things, if they focused work in one direction and made better decisions on what work to do they would avoid much rework and pain.

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.
