Pros
Good benefits, respected brand, solid employee base, opportunity to give back to the community. (Sun Trust offers an extra day off per year known as a "Day of Purpose" to allow employees to volunteer at a charitable activity of their choice.)
Cons
Cost cutting measures have been taken to extreme with the singular goal of improving the company's efficiency rating. (reduced business travel, reduced training opportunities, in some cases office cleaning is neglected to the point of diminished hygiene, elimination of coffee in the offices, scarce office supplies, adverse impact on annual raises and bonuses) No respect is given for time away. (expect to be called and questioned about business issues no matter where you are or what is going on around you)
