Pros

The company has many talented and dedicated employees who genuinely care about their work and supporting their teams. Collaboration among colleagues has historically been a strong point, and many employees bring valuable experience and knowledge to the organization.

Cons

Morale has declined due to leadership decisions that appear to prioritize short-term financial goals and executive incentives over long-term stability and employee retention. Experienced employees have been laid off and replaced with new hires at lower salary levels. This has resulted in the loss of institutional knowledge and increased workloads for remaining staff. There is a growing perception among employees that leadership is more focused on financial metrics and executive compensation than on investing in the talented, loyal workforce that helped build the company.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
