Pros

You get paid over time. Depending on your boss they understand if things come up and are pretty flexible.

Cons

No work life balance. They tell you what you want to hear in your interview but most of it is not true. Sure you get lots of vacation time but you have to take 2 weeks together and the last week as a whole. You cannot break it up. You do not get all those holidays off. You take turns to which ones you have to work. For holidays and vacation it's seniority so you are SOL if you are new. Even though you work till 5 you are expected to work till at least 530 if not 6. Some people work till 8 or 9. There's no reason that any of us should have to go into the office. They didn't change anything so we would have meetings on those days they just wanted us in. I did the exact same thing I did in office as I did at home, just had to get up way ealier and spend money on gas and parking. They are so under staffed so everyone is over worked and you will be to. My exit 2 weeks was a mess. No one told me anything and hr never reached out to me. Get your pay stubs before you quit because you wont be able to get them after. I dont know how thats allowed but it is. You cant see your own paystubs after you quit! Over all just dont work for a huge corporation because they dont care about you or your family.

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.
