Pros

Good benefits package. However, this does not out way the cons of working here. Unless you are straight out of college or unemployed I would not recommend.

Cons

The pay is probably the worst part. Entry level positions are paid well below the market average. Work live balance is increasingly becoming very negative with layoffs and not replacing backfill positions. When you do get promoted and work here for several years you become a target for layoffs, this bank is not what it used to be.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
