Pros

M&T is a solid financial institution that is managed well. The company is a large regional bank within the northeast part of the US, and has name recognition in some markets like Buffalo, NY and Baltimore, MD. The company strives to excel in customer service and really treats its customers well.

Cons

The company does not promote from within. The areas with smaller marketshare have a severe disadvantage when trying to compete with much larger regional banks. The pay is on the lower end of the scale as far as banks go. There isn't much room for advancement unless you want to move to Buffalo.

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.
