Pros

If you enjoy typical banking occupations, you'll find work you like here, with compensation at market levels.

Cons

Executive management is reactive, not strategic. No sense of direction or goals, results in constant special projects and fire drills, even after adjusting for the industry's current woes. These can greatly interfere with doing what you were hired (or seek) to do to demonstrate excellence in your occupation and advance professionally.
