Pros

Nice environment and nice people. on the whole, it is a civilized place to work. Good work/life balance. full benefits package dental/vision/health etc.

Cons

They keep firing everybody. You dont know from day to day if you have a job whether you have been there for 15 years or 15 days. Bureaucracy is insane to the point where you cant get anything done. IT is useless. Low salaries. Health insurance premiums are surprisingly expensive and take a big chunk out of your paycheck. company has a policy where you cant have a side job without formal permission - you can get fired if you work weekends at macy's or if you have a side gig fixing computers in your garage. I have never seen anyone successfully get another job within the bank.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
