Pros

Supervisors and regular employees are awesome, and you get to learn Excel

Cons

EVERYTHING!!!! Upper management is condescending at best, salary is way below minimum for any position in the bank. Merit increases the last two years have been 1% or lower. If you start your career here you will be at a disadvantage, and feel like you are sitting at a classroom at Devry or Katherine Gibbs. I left, and so did 90% of my friends, like I said in the headlines at all costs stay away, and if you are there, get out and stay out, and enjoy real salaries with real incentives

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
