Pros

They pay for your tuitions, life balance in some departments.

Cons

Low salary, no opportunity to grow. You can only get promoted if you know someone in the company. The jobs are being outsoursed and people laid off all the time. Many employees have nothing to do all day long and search internet, but some of them are extremely busy.

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.
