Pros
The dedicated staff who have been with the bank more than five years prior to 2016 have a great work ethic and work as a great collegial team. Pay is generally decent.
Cons
Executive leadership brought in over the past four to five years seems to be ineffective, at best, and unintentionally destructive, at worst. Many leaders have come into the organization without the skills to effectively lead change. Benefits are being slashed in ridiculous ways, embedded subject matter experts are being pushed out creating increased risks and demands on those who remain, and compensation perks are being eliminated. Middle and Senior Management ranks have exploded in size over the past four years as new senior managers and executives hire friends while forcing the lower-level management and staff to be reduced through attrition. The ratio of managers to staff, especially in the IT population, is seriously out of balance with a very top-heavy management structure. Finally, opportunities for career advancement are almost non-existent. Promotional title changes do sometimes occur but without actual accompanying growth in, what appears to be, most cases.
