Managers who couldn't hack it at the big boy banks

Pros

You will be the smartest person in the room most of the time. Work life is good on account I poor management/managing.

Cons

Poor pay, no meritocracy wrt managers and city president who are there simply by sticking around long enough, furthering stroked egos. Poor IT system controls, leading to duplicative work. The teams essentially just cold call from a list or wait for a real bank to lead a deal and allow BBVA to come in and participate. Sales people are on the merry go round and BBVA is just their current stop - typically been at 3 or 4 other banks. No intellectual bandwidth.

Pros

Depending on role, can have a fair amount of travel to interesting destinations. Increasing culture of innovation, new technologies in the workplace. Consensus-based decision making reduces stress and makes work more social. People are generally very friendly and understanding.

Cons

Lack of career path. Goal setting is uncertain. A lot of bureaucracy at all levels. Work/life balance challenged by very long hours and in some cases lots of facetime culture.
