Pros

A Few goo Men and Women still left. The ones that are still left; Kudos to you for fighting the good fight. Keep it up, another financial services firm will discover you and when they do don't hesitate--Pack up your belongings, tender your notice and LEAVE!

Cons

The retail bank is loosing money, the commercial bank is taking over (don't confuse brains for a bull market with) and the wealth management business is led by industry rookies! Retail is lead by think tankers who have never done any heavy lifting, commercial is run by a bunch of egotistical buffoons and wealth is the ugly duckling drying to find enough food to survive. Each region does things very differently so there is no consistency to any business vertical. Wealth has been sold a dream and promises from a Florida/New York group calling themselves "Ultra high net worth "Forbes" list coverage team. FYI, go to the corner news stand or better yet Google the list, now you have what they have---a list, Congratulations! In pursuit of revenue, this bank has lost its way in so many ways that it now finds itself blind and lost

Pros

This really is hard. I've held front and back office positions and was successful in both. Upper Management is clueless to the realities of how business operates now. It's like an ivory tower situation where they all talk about how great they are, while branch employees are getting ripped to shreds and back office employees get worked to death. This would be a great company if the entire culture changed.

Cons

Too numerous to list. They don't care about "talent" and are too stupid to know that they have gifted people right in front of them. Potential doesn't matter, only experience. The pay is well below industry average. I've performed better than most for all of my annual reviews and the best raise I've ever gotten was $900. It doesn't even keep up with inflation.
