They do things harder, not smarter

Pros

Plenty of spare time to goof off

Cons

They keep acquiring new banks yet continue to do back office things in an old school manual fashion. It's all about titles and a horse and pony show...not about work. Insanity begins as I sit at my desk days on end with absolutely nothing to do.
