Pros

Not any other then a pretty flexible boss and could adjust my schedule however I wanted

Cons

This could quite possibly be the worst company to work for. Everyone is so depressed and I have never met anyone that enjoys their job. They are the butt of jokes in the Pittsburgh community. They are overstaffed and unpaid. There is no communication between the different levels of management. While working there for two years, I witnessed countless employees leave because they were so miserable. The work is not challenging and any experience gained is inapplicable to other firms. I truly feel sorry for anyone who still works there.

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.
