Pros

Very prestigious program- looks great on a resume when you decide to leave, opportunity to meet a lot of great people in the program and network within the bank, pay is halfway decent considering we are in Buffalo, good PTO, bad health insurance. would recommend it but definitely don't stay too long after the program

Cons

Not all but a lot of departments that have MDPs don't know what to do with them- you'll end up spending a lot of time doing nothing, workshops for MDP are remote and boring- definitely did not learn a lot from them, pay could be better considering how impressive and talented MDPs typically are- why stay when you could make way more elsewhere? Bank is really stuck in its ways

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.
