Pros

Good pay. Good benefits.

Cons

This branch used to be a great team environment. It has become a very impersonal place to work. They press on showing the value of our work, yet fail to Express the value of employee morale. Everyone in the branch is treated as replaceable. When employees are leaving to lower paying jobs, it shows the employees are looking for value.
