Pros

Set schedule with holidays and Sundays off, plentiful PTO.

Cons

Everything else. As a universal banker, you are expected to hit or exceed goals even when you have 0 time to actually be at your desk and you are constantly teller coverage. They will overwork you until you inevitably quit and then wonder why there is such a high turnover. There is never enough staff because they do not pay enough to make anyone want to stay. Bonuses are a joke, raises are even more of a joke. They are more willing to pay new hires a better rate than give tenured employees decent raises. On top of this, benefits are mediocre at best. Constant micromanagement. Upper management acts like everyone is just a chess piece in their game. Threats of improvement plans and possible lay offs if you do not agree to higher ups "suggestions." Serious favoritism in the branches, certain people never get in trouble for anything.

Pros

The tech employees that I've worked with at M&T Bank are almost unilaterally great, and I like the flexibility individuals have in moving around internally and learning new things. I've never really been asked to do too much, and my work has been appreciated continually. In addition, management has always been understanding and flexible in terms of work/life balance.

Cons

The company rarely promotes from within, and has archaic HR policies that they use as an excuse to prevent pay raises and promotions. While they have taken strides to become more in line with industry standards, they are still lagging in base pay. In addition, most tech teams are required to report into office at least three days a week, into the city, and parking is not provided.

Pros

Banks in general have a lot of holidays.

Cons

The IA group is a miserable, toxic working environment. It is a mistake to accept a job there. The turnover is incredible. Managers are not hired/promoted because they know how to manage, just because they've bragged about themselves enough to impress upon the director. One senior manager has had multiple complaints to HR and over a dozen employees quit because he is so unbearable to work with and the director and general auditor won't do anything about it.
