Pros

The 10 paid bank holidays and the opportunity to work with some of my friends from past banks. That's all I can think of.

Cons

The lack of real leaders, the entire organization is filled with cliques and silos, they don't offer true leadership training, they don't promote from within - instead, leaders just hire all of their friends from past banks; the benefits they advertise are difficult to utilize; we used to have a casual dress code and now we have to wear business/business attire; they took away all of our banked sick days (many of us lost 400 hours and we only accrue 7 days a year now). Tokyo is micro-managing and stifles our ability to perform at our best level. The main priority is on expense reduction and cutting jobs. Very toxic culture and morale is very low.

Pros

Great coworkers and the pay is fair

Cons

Company is consistently bringing in new executives to implement cost reduction changes, which include outsourcing jobs offshore and laying off long term employees in order to hire at lower salaries and less benefits. Company's culture changed for the worse a few years ago and most of the tenured employees either left or were laid off. Senior management plays favorites and surround themselves with yes sir/man employees creating a toxic culture. Serious conflict of interest do not get reported as there is no belief that they would be seriously addressed when senior management is guilty of the offence or chose not to adress reported issues. This used to be a really good customer and employee centric organization.

Pros

An important division of one of the largest banks in the world. There are opportunities for the bank if they execute on their plans

Cons

Executive management is not trusted or respected. Experienced line management has been eliminated, and replaced by lower cost, but less experienced, talent. Employee morale is very low.
