Pros

No micromanaging, not so hard on pushing sales goals.

Cons

If you make the bank money (specifically the commercial team) you can get away with anything- from talking about swastikas, talking about collecting confederate flags, yelling in the middle of the lobby while the bank is open, talking about the murder of George Floyd and how he was a criminal who deserved what he got. As long as your skin is white you can get away with breaking any type of policy in this bank. If you want a bank who does not support people of color- this one is for you.
