Pros

Benefits, Pay and Work-Life Balance

Cons

Sales Goals are aggressive. Team hired from SunBank appears to be lacking important industry knowledge. Senior Management changes focus weekly: Increase Deposit, Increase lending pipeline, Increase investments. Focus it to increase sales at any cost which can lead to suggestions out of the client's best interest.

Cons

1. Highly skilled employees are overworked and pigeonholed. 2. Highly political - definitely not a meritocracy 3. Work/Life balance is encouraged verbally, but not really.

Pros

Money - you got paid very handsomely for the word you did. You could pretty much walk in the door dictating your salary if you had the experience to back it up. Relaxed dress code most of the time.

Cons

Poor management. Sometimes we were managed by people that had never did our job. How can you crack the whip on people when you don't even know what the job entails? I survived 3 layoffs. Very tense and unstable environment. All levels of workers were micromanaged: loan origination, processing, underwriting, cross sale, etc.
