Pros

Opportunity to be involved with community partnerships and employee resource groups where additional skills can be learned. Vacation and Holidays are adequate. Official flexibility in working arrangements- if you don’t care about promotions.

Cons

No good deed goes unpunished- do a great job, no promotion but more responsibility. Networking remains key to get promoted. Secrets abound amongst management levels and while empowerment and giving feedback is encouraged, it is hard to believe it does anything but put your name on a list. Recognition is dismal for satellite offices. Working for a financial institution in general is filled with constraints and stressful.

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.
