Pros

Some very talented people come into the organization and try very hard to make a difference. Unfortunately, they don't normally last very long.

Cons

Overall, a very tough place to work. The outdated 1980's strategy of trying to cut costs to the bare minimum (i.e. screw the rank & file employee) while demanding strong internal revenue growth, fueled by overpaying for acquisitions is just not working anymore. Who wants to work ungodly hours with unreasonable expectations only to get below "cost of living" reviews year after year while the incompetent executive scumbags walk away with all the money & stock awards. Management at all levels is filled with yes men and empty suits. Turn-over is unbelievable. If you are a new employee, expect to last no more than a year. The back-stabbing politicians that survive are normally a large number of 20-something know-it-alls in management positions that they are not qualified or ready for, but, hey, they work cheap. In Cincy, everyone seems to know someone who is an "ex-fifth third employee" and 99% of them despise the place.

Pros

With the minimal staffing I should make it through this recession, though I can see senior mtg cutting those that they say make too much.

Cons

The rating system this year is so restrictive that many employees will have a sub-standard rating unless the rating system as set up is not followed. The gaols to be achieve each year are not given until May, so most employees do not know what is to be achieved since there is no two way dialogue on how the goals are set.
