Pros

Still have some "old school" benefits such as a defined pension and non-expiring sick days. New CEO seems to be interested and engaged in changing work culture of old boy network.

Cons

Too many examples of the Peter Principal. People seem to be promoted on seniority instead of competency. Which makes it hard for them to support their direct reports. It is a Bank, and they are more interested in following procedure then actually getting things done. Management talks about wanting people to "own their work", but provide little or no support to actually allow you to "own your work"

Pros

Benefits are great! Health insurance is Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem Lumenos and very cheap. Hours are good because the branches in the loop are only open M-F during business hours, unlike outlying branches that are open later and on Saturdays. The staff is young and upbeat, including management; management is very approachable.

Cons

Pay is not that great. They offer incentives to earn "incentive" money, however, you have to reach a sales quota first and that is a hard goal to reach. The office environment is also very slow paced and quiet. The only excitement in the office is when there are a lot of customers needing assistance.
