Pros

Other than direct colleagues, there are none.

Cons

Power & Utilities leadership team are unqualified and unfit to lead the team. Simply a syndication / loan purchasing shop that copies down CIMs. I would avoid at any cost. There are no opportunities for growth unless someone steps down. Forced to open Associated Bank account so you can have a direct deposit (this is to bump their deposit base), otherwise your check is mailed. Underwriting and other bank systems used are ancient and often times no longer supported by the developers, glitchy and difficult to work with. Management is not open to progress or changes. Benefit are below average and expensive.
