Lots of Politics

Pros

Work and Life balance is great. Downtown location is very convenient for commuters. Friendly work environment, unlike some other Financial companies' snobby work environment.

Cons

Lots of politics involved in every project and campaign. Really, you cant do project management on your own with your own team, as the idea and even slightest details would have to come from VP or Senior VP. Very conservative in terms of creative campaigns, and even the choice of outsourced agency is decided by VP or CEO through politics. The company is also downsizing a lot of FT positions, preferring to hire Interns or short-term contractors.

Pros

- you have a job with one of the big five banks - fairly stable unless you are a contract worker

Cons

- focus on average time spent on each phone call is heavily scrutinized - you will get questioned about why you are not taking a phone call - you are paid 1 basis point for each dollar you bring in as a sale - the company's management even disclosed that on each dollar, they make 70 basis points
