Pros

Decent benefits, some areas of growth depending on your skills (real & political)

Cons

Not a good work-life balance. Long hours expected for branch staff. Compensation is average and quarterly incentive amount and structure is not motivating. Limited opportunities here in New York since most non-Retail positions are located in PA and MA. There has been constant turn over for both Branch staff, Middle and Senior Management which has made it difficult for the brand to maintain a constant unified vision and path to success. There needs to be serious investment into technology and staffing for the bank to improve, however Executive Management has made it clear that such investments are not feasible.
