Pros

Competitive pay and benefits, good team ethic, knowledgeable staff. Management willing to listen reasonable to career development requests. Scope for internal movement.

Cons

Inexperienced middle management can cause unnecessary tension and office politics. From an software development perspective there's a lot of red tape surrounding releases and little scope to use bleeding edge technologies (although both of these are to be expected at a bank).
