      Pros

      Northern is a leader in the industry and the name and reputation command respect. Client service is very important and has helped set us apart from the others. Good benefits. It has not been hurt as badly in the past year as any of the other banks. I do get raises!!! Wide variety of services we can provide for clients. Very conservative culture. Sensitive to minority groups (Women, LGBT, Asian, Latin, African-American)

      Cons

      Not quick to hire replacements for people who have left - saves money. (If you hire good people they will pick up the slack for a long time, doing 2 jobs for the price if one.) Bonuses and raises are small. Changes happen slowly. Sometimes important things are learned through the grapevine, not from management. Intense sales pressure

      Pros

      good environment, close to trains stations but not in the middle of it all, shuttle routes help alot in bringing anything you want anytime to you, just hop on and ride to lunch or outings, very friendly co-workers, odd balls are pushed out and creates a family like atmosphere although departments seem estranged at times, like other worlds, massive overtime for certain periods, so be prepared to work your hardest but overtime more than makes up for it but not at all levels, overall a great place so far

      Cons

      slower management practices but smart in how it operates, helpdesk and IT help are brutal and programs/software is like pulling teeth sometimes, classes are great but offered at wrong times for certain departments, so you have to squeeze in what you can when you can

      Pros

      Terrific all-around place to work. Couldn't be much happier with my career here.

      Cons

      The pay scale is below market rate on most positions within the company. The company compares it's salary data to the wrong competition, which skews the "Market Rate" the company comes up with.
