Pros

Promotes within. Great support for employees. Great retirement.

Cons

Crazy vacation policy. Must plan all days off one year in advance and can only be off on Friday twice per year. Can not be off on the same holiday two years in a row. And it goes on and on.... hopefully they will consider changing that policy.

Pros

HR is easily accessible. Some managers may be on your behind about work even though there are easier methods. Some managers with criticize you in front of other employees.

Cons

We have to use five of our vacation days consecutively so they can audit us. We aren’t assigned Saturday shifts close to our home, so some people have to drive farther for 3 hours of work (no mileage). Managers are hit or miss. PE can be affected by location, so try to get a good location.

Pros

- Relaxed environment - Friendly and helpful coworkers - Plenty of meaningful work to go around

Cons

It’s a bigger bank. Tons of bureaucracy, middle managers, and old, worn out systems. Can feel tough to move within the company, and projects move very slow because the systems are so large and complex.
