Pros

Pay was OK. Location was close to my home. Had a brake room with vending machines that accepted credit cards (for a fee).

Cons

Bad hours 12 hour shifts and working one month mon-thurs and one month thurs - fri. bad management do not value the computer operations staff. They consider you bottom of the rung. Hard to get time off and turnover is great. I only worked there for 7 months. Employess were allowed to harass each other without HR stepping in.

Pros

Potential exists to modernize, reduce complex process, and become efficient with providing IT services to branches. Good time off benefits, very stable and conservative company, job security if you don't ripple the waters. A few good managers - if you are lucky.

Cons

Authoritative IT management results in middle and lower managers afraid to make decisions, stale innovation, lack of direction and experience. Lack commitment to company values.No bonuses, merit increase below inflation even when company had good performance. Lots of staff been here long time and unwilling to challenge old processes, resist change, and fear management. New hires are criticized if not willing to adopt similar ways of thinking. Culture has made improvement compared from 2-3 years ago, but still very much behind other companies. Very disappointing to see negatives outweigh the positives given so much potential. Managers hop back/forth from one bank to another.
