Pros

Very strong company history. Looking for ways to improve and grow business in the area. Forward thinking.

Cons

Forward thinking, but backword acting. Trying to be like the other guys, rather than capitalizing on what has made them who they are.

Pros

Typically stable company, but as all companies in the financial industry are being beaten up these days, Northern is doing very well. Still offers a pension plan and 401k matching.

Cons

Not as friendly to employees as years past. Northern is getting too big to "care about individual employees"

Pros

The company is fairly big so there is a lot of mobility. There are, however, a TON of politics so it can be difficult at times to make a transition.

Cons

The area I was in had a so called "boys club" as senior management so bad managers in this club where hard to do anything about.
