Pros

Some great smart people but too many levels of management. If you had relatives or a friend above you could go places.

Cons

Technology wise they liked to try and build their own systems rather than buy something that was off the shelf. Not smart paying tons of IT people to write software that took 3 years to build, when for 20K they could have bought it and better? Consider them 5y or so behind tech wise compared to most banks. There are a number dealings with M&T that I can't really talk about. In a nut shell, Sr. Management handled a known problem very badly. I left after repeated issues escalated.

Pros

Bank Holidays and the vacation time

Cons

They hire knowing there is not enough work to keep you busy, Lack of pay and what they promised to make up for the pay in bonus and OT does not happen. Lack of experienced management who knows what they are doing. QC department that picks on every small detail vs knowing how to get a loan purchased and move on. MOST OF ALL, there is NO training. You are left out in to figure and fend for yourself the M&T Bank way. Lots of useless weekly meetings and the only ones that stay are the long time employees are have no experience working in a "real" mortgage company to know what is right and wrong.
