Pros

Decent retirement and health benefits.

Cons

Company morale is currently very low due to senior management's decision to layoff a large amount of employees and direct the bank's focus primarily on the 'bottom line'. Employees have and will continue to leave, as workloads in various departments become unmanageable and employees continue to be overworked. Also, if employees get raises they are minimal and far below the market rate; expect 1-2% if you're lucky.

Great place to work.

Pros

They make sure you are trained really well before they let you do the job by yourself. They don't like gossip. Everyone very friendly. If you smoke, they allow you two smoke breaks as well as lunch. If you make an error, they will pull you into an office to discuss it rather than telling you at your desk, while the whole department listens. Good communication.

Cons

Ran out of work and expected to stay until your shift ended (most of the time for 2 hours).

Family owned which makes it quirky at times.
