Pros
-Good work life balance, not expected to work overtime -Set up with 100 other MDPs in similar situation - This is important to have in Buffalo, a non-transient city with a small town feel
Cons
-Bank management out of touch with modern corporate culture -Very low wages in comparison to similar roles at competing banks -Many employees have never worked anywhere but M&T, several people on my team held the same role for 20+ years -Many employees see MDPs as spolied and priveleged, negative stigma toward program -Buffalo has a small town culture. Many people at the bank attended the same high school, or live in the same community. If you are not from Buffalo, you will be at a disadvantage because of this. -Difficult to move to a new role within the bank
