Pros

Has a small office feel in a very large office. Many people have been here for 20+ years and started working here right out of high school.

Cons

In 3 words: Outdated I.T. !! Mind numbing processes that are so redundant and antiquated. Here I sit day after day entering information in 5 different applications that don't communicate with each other.

Pros

Most co-workers are team players and everyone trys their best to help each other out even when it may not be part of their job description. True team players. Recognizing that we all work for the same company even though we are not in the same department.

Cons

nothing to say at this time.

Pros

The people below senior management level are 'long-timers', which speaks volumes for the good company it WAS to work at. They have seen a lot of change in the past 8 years, not at all for the best. The people are Bankers' greatest asset. Also, some jobs offer telecommuting.

Cons

The employees come last, priority-wise, with pay and advancement opportunity while senior management is very well-compensated with salaries and sign-on bonuses. It's a sweatshop for the rest of the people...little to no work-life balance. Close to impossible if you're a working mom. Get ready to put in a lot of extra hours twice a month, at quarter-end, and at year-end. The exempt (salaried) employees are just expected to work these extra hours without compensation (no pay, no comp time). Non-exempt employees who earn very little to begin with are paid for the overtime.
