Pros

None, I was lied to about every meaningful element of my time. People who worked at the organization were incredibly toxic, provided no peer community and management were “gilded” or at least felt they were and helped no one above, beside or beneath them & viewed both internal and external customers as one of these three groups. If you are an acquired company, and not in the top two or three individuals, GET OUT RIGHT AFTER THEY ANNOUNCE!!!! They will try to keep you to attempt to present themselves as community oriented. But they will sh**can you right after they are done reassigning your clients to a “transition specialist” who will “help you”. Incredible that a lie that blandest can be said, but I have direct experience that it happens regularly. So why take the chance?!?!!

Cons

The company treats acquired banks as chattel, sucking the value from large commercial relationships & denigrating the people who created them. DO NOT LISTEN TO THEIR ASSURANCES DURING ACQUISITIN ACTIVITY!!!!! If you work in any value creation or critical role in the target bank YOU ARE DONE. Also, if you have an skittish people in your leadership team, trust that the Wintrust team is going to enable the toxic people have their way with you, even if you have, say 20 years of experiences in financial services… Don’t listen to your “talent coordinator” from HR. She (most likely) is uninformed on financial service capabilities and is looking to secure her role by axing you and your team.
