Pros

No challenges. Good benefits package.

Cons

Rampant cronyism. The division I worked in, my manager showed favoritism to the young ladies in my division, while I was verbally (and physically) abused on multiple occasions. Coworkers who play office politics. I really was not getting paid enough (less than an entry level intern in most other banks) to justify playing any sort of office politics, but it was the favorite past-time of others in my group. Do not expect to go out for happy hour drinks in this company, it is just not that kind of enviornment.
