Pros

Conservative so strong financially. Good for college students or new to banking as you will learn the old fashioned way of banking which will give you the basics of banking in order to move on to a up to date bank.

Cons

Technology is from 1990. Upper management thinks it is an accomplishment that you can see your balance and do transaction at any branch. Training is lacking. Executives want sales results with under trained and under staffed branches. Not organized as the top. Annual goals come out in late February after the quarter is already 2/3 over. Is that fair? Contests start a week before released to the branches. Does that make sense? Just start when announced. Salary and bonus scale is a mystery.

Pros

- Very good learning experience - Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful people in the office

Cons

The Chicago office is a commercial site, so all other interns for the bank sit in either New Jersey, New York, or Florida. Not necessarily a bad thing because it helped form better connections with everyone in the office, but networking with other interns was more difficult.
