Pros

Compensation is competitive, as long as you aren't looking for growth opportunities. The benefits options are decent. The hours and demands are pretty tolerable.

Cons

Company wants to be innovative, but won't do what is necessary (ie invest in it's infrastructure or employees). Company culture is not as a leader or risk taker. Middle management is too afraid of self preservation and their own status... the motto is don't rock the boat. Managers aren't very proactive or engaging with staff, even verging on disrespectful or condescending.

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.
