Pros

Can't think of a positive statement about this company. I've worked for several financial institutions and this one is a joke. The day I started I knew it was going to be the worst job I had ever had...I was not proven wrong.

Cons

Human resources is inept along with the bank's entire boy's club management. When you have to hire a consultant to teach an executive leader how to do his job, well, that sums up the environment and culture. (Everyone else gets fired for being stupid, he gets a personal tutor) Management has no vision or strategy and could not execute it even if they did. As a result, they are a bullying culture that uses bravado and threats to rule. I have never experienced an environment where so many co workers were fired. Can a company be so unlucky or so inept to hire every horrible employee out there? Or is it management's kneejerk reaction to their nonperformance do to lack of management knowledge, strategy, and vision? Hmmmm...gotta think about that.
