      Pros

      Fantastic people. Team oriented workplace. People have strong sense of integrity and doing the right thing which is rare in banking.

      Cons

      Promotion can be expedient or highly political, which leads to very spotty leaders in some areas. In 10+ years, I had great managers and career killing managers. Pay is low, but understandable given the work life balance. This is a known quantity going in and should not be considered a negative. Promotion upward can be political or expedient, and not often merit based.

      Pros

      Lots of opportunity for younger generation as older employees are retiring; flexible; good benefits; nice colleagues; opportunity to try different things all over bank; interesting work; genuine care for clients and integrity in service which is rare

      Cons

      Financial services generally are very competitive and so lots of politics to navigate, needs stronger experiential training, pay is soft unless you are a very high performer who pushes the issue, technology needs further updating, company is slow to remove problem managers and employees, like any big company you need to seek out resources and be proactive.

      Awful

      Pros

      Flexible schedule, managers don't seem to micro manage. Not too many other pros, lots of cons. Keep looking to find something better

      Cons

      No training, horrible culture, everyone out for themselves and will throw you under the bus anytime they can. Processes are so manual there is room for lots of errors. Absolutely no positive reinforcement.
