1) Good place to start working after college. Very low stress. 2) Good work/life balance. 3) Company matches 401K 100% up to 5%. 4) Great PTO - 4 Weeks. 5) The Everett Ma cafeteria has great food.

Cons

1) Frequent lay-offs. 2) Expect bonuses around $100.00 each year. 3) Some groups can be toxic. Very low HR involvement. So, terrible situations can get and stay out of control. 4) Upward mobility is almost non-existent. 5) Pay is very low. For an entry level position, expect to start at $35K/year and stay there for years.

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.
