Pros

The people on the line are fantastic people, and many have been there for years, resulting in a strong culture based on security, sincerity, integrity and professionalism.

Cons

The bank is loosing its way as it brings in whole teams who worked together at a former company. This is setting up cronyism, and has just about destroyed the concept of promotion from within. The value on individual competence is being lost in favor of a more statistical approach to management.

Pros

Great people, especially those who have been with the bank for many years. Fair benefits and an actual pension plan. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Infusion of managers from outside have dramatically changed the culture, as well as sending the message that outside talent is valued above internal promotion. Upper management pays scant attention to the activities and decisions being made under them, and the culture has become one of "managing up" the organization. This, combined with the dramatic changes with the MUFG merger makes for a strongly political organizational style.

Pros

Pay is adequate, but company is only focused on cutting costs as a means to become a top 10 Bank by taking away employee benefits via a million paper cuts. People trying to work hard in spite of all the internal distractions.

Cons

Outdated systems, politics, slow, increasingly bureaucracy with parent takeover and total lack of innovation.
