Pros

Stable company, despite being in the banking industry. Depending on the department you're in, it seems fairly easy to make friends. I feel fairly treated, despite cons below.

Cons

Low pay. Not open to different ways of doing things. Slow to adopt new technology, and very stingy with buyin new software, computers, etc. The difference between what your raise is if you did a fantastic job that year and if you did a crap job is probably about 1%. Not much incentive to do good work. Really tough to find room for advancement. Hard to know what you need to do to get to the next level.

Pros

The team members were generally supportive, and the role offered exposure to probate and estate administration. It can be a starting point for gaining experience in a specialized area of banking.

Cons

Many of the advertised benefits of the role did not align with the day-to-day reality. Opportunities for growth, training, and process improvement were limited, and the workload often felt driven by volume rather than quality. Communication and expectations could be inconsistent, making it difficult to feel supported or set up for long-term success.
