Pros

Decent benefits although they are not cheap.

Cons

Very old hardware and limited access to new tech depending on what area you work in. Bonuses are not a sure thing and dependent on bank performance as well as personal with none given out some years. Poor culture where most seem unhappy with their jobs. Japanese owned with US business subsidizing poor performance elsewhere. Work environment is very manager dependent. For example, my group used be able to work from home as needed and leave early for holiday weekends but new dept manager doesn't allow it.

Chaotic Lack of Direction

Pros

There are some great people who want to do the right thing. Decent opportunities to move round within the bank.

Cons

Four years of chaos in the transaction banking division, with a carousel of managers who each immediately change direction from the previous manager or else have no impact whatsoever. Leadership strategy from the Head of Transaction Banking is not clearly communicated and employees seem disposable or are not listened to, so the best ones leave. Only those low or mid managers who "manage up" will be successful, so there's not much attention given to the needs of the worker bees.

Restructuring

Pros

Good pay, long history of successful and stable operations

Cons

Continuous Restructuring, lay-offs has affected morale over the previous three years. Management says they want to grow but more focused on cutting costs and doing cheap things like cutting parking subsidy, not matching 401K until the end of fiscal year.
