Good opportunites for those who seek them out
Pros
In general, the executive team does a great job of running this company. They guided the bank through some tough years, but through it all, things have been looking up. There are good opportunites for internal promotion and career advancement; although, it does seems to make a big difference if you have connections with people who have power within the organization. I guess it's true here, just like anywhere else, it's not all about what you know, but who you know. Benefits are solid, premiums are reasonable, employer retirement contributions are pretty generous. Work-life balance is great in my position, and seems to be for most other people as well (at least in the corporate offices).
Cons
The biggest negative here is compensation. Of course, at every company everyone wishes they were paid more. But the issue here is equity. People doing the same job can be paid vastly different sums, especially when comparing simlar work between departments. I'm talking 30%+ in many cases; this is not some quibble over a thousand dollars or so.
