Pros

They move you positions about every two years, good exposure to different areas within finance and the business. Some travel opportunities depending on which department you work in.

Cons

-Below market pay -Management hesitant to give you opportunities that you have proven you are capable of. -They will marginalize and squeeze you as much as they can. Truly a slave driver. -With no show of appreciation or care for their employees -Opportunities and management positions are given to inexperienced employees (still not sure why) when there are many higher qualified employees available. -Everything is a secret and as an employee you do not know where you are headed in your career. Lots of uncertainties regarding career advancement for such a structured organization. -Senior management lacks fundamental knowledge of finance and strategic management. -Financial HUB provides no privacy. No office or cubicles.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
