Pros
The benefits at Amalgamated are not bad. One of the few places around that still has a pension AND a 401k, Also has a pretty liberal sick-day policy which allows for caring for family members.
Cons
The company is stuck in a time-warp. Technology is antiquated behind an inflexible management that micromanages every detail and thus, does not improve. As an example - there are some departments that have a typewriter. There are no opportunities for career advancement. Internal hiring / promotions are extremely rare. Current CEO Keith Mestrich has brought in many friends from the outside to run key departments. In addition, he seems more interested in political causes than in actually managing the bank. True that the company is advertised as a "progressive" company, but the day-to-day decisions of managing the bank should take precedence over what's happening in Washington.
