Pros

Competitive salary, being a larger company can afford to pay it's employees what they ask. Advancement opportunity is abundant, simply because people are always quitting.

Cons

I left a company I'd been with for years to pursue an advancement opportunity I'd been offered. One of the worst mistakes I've ever made. Management motivates through threats, doesn't understand how to praise, only to punish. Any mistake you make causes you to worry for your very livelihood. A stressful, unhealthy work environment. Also, such a large company managed to force it's workers into a high deductible benefits plan. No option for anything other than a $1500 deductible.

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.
