Pros

Reasonably nice offices--for some locations. Can only recommend working there if you are desperate for a job.

Cons

In finance group minimal concern for employees who are not officers. Lots of benefits (flex time, work at home, etc) are only available to select few, even though being on location not needed to get job done. Many officers encourage confrontational work environment. Minimal opportunity to get promoted from within. Relocate & restructure jobs every few years to shake a few more employees out.

Cost cutting pressures. Non-competitive salaries. Loss of legacy knowledge of applications, systems, and processes with massive layoffs in the northeastern US. Unequal application of company policies (e.g., telecommuting, training availability, etc.) throughout organization.

Pros

Big, stable company, lots of different departments for work opportunities. Nice building and office, cafeteria clean with good food options

Cons

Does not pay well, not much room for advancement if any, big push to eliminate tenured employees, if you go to sales department cannot get out, stuck there, they will hold you from getting a different position within company. No work/life balance
