Pros

Positive management attitude and respectful environment; competitive compensation, and ok benefits package. Stable, risk adverse business model.

Cons

Increasingly becoming a big-bank culture (heavy on the bureaucracy); now wholly owned by Japanese parent company, which is shifting the culture and taking away local autonomy. Continual degradation of core benefits in order to "be more aligned with market practices."

Pros

Union Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (Tokyo). As such, it's in a perpetual state of growth and transition. Advancement opportunities are greatest for those in corporate or leadership roles, but all employees have unparalleled access to career development and certification programs. Corporate culture is tied to performance-based recognition events throughout the year and community involvement. Union Bank has an active Foundation and excellent reputation within the community.

Cons

Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group consolidated its North and South American interests into MUFG Union Bank (NY). Communication is a huge area of opportunity and direction is often unclear as the company expands beyond its historically regional presence. Employees are continually expected to do more with less and this has a substantial impact on work/life balance. It's not uncommon to work through evenings, weekends, and even scheduled vacations. The benefits offering is also sub-par due to recent changes.
