Pros

Competitive pay, easy for tenured employees to keep their job (unless branch closures prevent that)

Cons

Sr Management is floundering in this low rate environment. Rates and regulations have DRASTICALLY cut profits, Sr managements pursues non-sensical initiatives and abandons them part way, such as scrapping a multi-BILLION dollar systems update after realizing it was not compatible with any of our existing systems, (whoops?) Mid-management continues to turn up the pressure and stress, while handing down layoffs, announcing branch closures, and setting impossible "stretch" goals and non-stop "campaigns". Morale is at an all time low and doesn't seem to be changing any time soon.

Pros

Good benefits, some advancement opportunities.

Cons

If anyone is considering the capital markets group, I would say to think twice. The group is very cliquey and an atmosphere where people are looking out for themselves. I would go so far as to say it's a machiavellian work environment where people will only help another if they see some future benefit in their own action. Another major drawback of the group is a lack of accountability and clear responsibilities among senior and junior employees. Senior employees regularly throw junior employees under the bus. Senior employees also expect to take credit for junior employees projects. From what I found whatever a ranking Senior said goes, so if they do not like you, you will be gone. If you get an attractive offer that is too much to turn down that is one situation I can understand. Otherwise, if you're starting out or looking for a transitional role, I would avoid this group.
