Pros

Generally a friendly atmosphere, treated fairly and no games when it comes bonuses and COL adjustments.

Cons

The health benefits here are terrible. If you need to cover two people, it could costs more 800 dollars every month! and the coverage itself is mediocre at best. The way the company is run is also a mess. No one has a real plan. We just make things up as we go, and it causes a lot of problems. Different teams do not talk to each other at all. The bosses change how we work without telling anyone first. We are always working on projects that are late, so everyone is always stressed and rushing. The company wants to open ten new branches this year. When we asked how they would do it, they did not have an answer. There is literally no plan. Tons of management here. Supervisor > Manger > Director > VP > EVP > CEO. It's insane.

Pros

The pay is decent and there are some very skilled people working in the department.

Cons

The workloads are unrealistic at times particularly when someone is out of office for an extended period of time. Month end tends to be very busy and you will be expected to work additional hours most days if you are salaried. Management attitude shifted in the last few years. Performance expectations are very subjected and higher ratings are gated across the organization with the highest level being essentially out of reach for non leadership positions. Many talented people have recently left the department in a short period of time causing workloads to be redistributed rather than seeking new staff in a timely manner. A large number of key department processes sit with a single person with minimal at best documentation of their procedures. You may be expected to reverse engineer some of the annual or quarterly processes with minimal guidance after seeing the process one once or twice.
