Pros

Starting off you get 2 weeks of vacation, unlimited sick days, 7% match on your 401K, work-life balance is great, the atmosphere is very laid back. Most of the supervisors I've met and worked with have been young, friendly, and helpful.

Cons

It is expected that you take on more work but are rarely rewarded for it. The health insurance is a joke if you are somebody who has a medical condition and needs medical coverage. The pay is well below average for the area and raises are very tiny. This is a good place to start your career to gain experience, however the job is so specific I feel it won't help me advance my career. They are also making it much harder to move around within 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.
