      Pros

      Good, stable private bank. Avoided most of the financial follies and shenanigans that have taken place over the past few years. Decent benefits package with lucrative vacation and sick time. People are nice to work with.

      Cons

      Management has failed miserably in moving the company forward. NT has been too stuck in their old ways and failed to be proactive with changes in order to stay competitive. Now they are forced to make drastic changes without much forethought. The new client service model is a mild disaster and the people running the show seem clueless. Qualified internal candidates are being passed over for promotion in favor of less qualified external candidates. Managers spend all day in meetings where it seems nothing is accomplished. I've seen meetings about meetings along with post-meeting meetings. Weak managers are never weeded out and ultimately promoted causing more distress for those working under them. And they wonder why quality employees are leaving...
