Pros
Ok for a first job out of college Decent benefits Fast paced environment You get paid for overtime
Cons
Same duties everyday Limited growth opportunities (Norther Trust prefers outside candidates over internal) Low starting salary (now around forty) Average raises around 3%, but last two years around 1% Systems break down daily (especially before and after major holidays) Communication between departments is very bad and a lot of it last minute No company sponsored events unless you pay and organize it yourself Work first, personal life later If you like to take vacation around major holidays (Christmas, New Year) it is not for you Any perks you can think of (coffee, snacks, tickets to events etc.) there are none Your advice or suggestions are as good as an echo in the woods Fairly high turnover rate (around 80% over two years)
