Pros

Relevant work experience for those who have none. Support for qualifications to non-graduates. Near the top of the league in Asset Servicing - reputation.

Cons

Few opportunities for qualifications for graduates and little funding for training. Poor salary compared to peers. Poor networks between Manchester and other sites. Managers can prevent people from applying to internal positions at their discretion. HR are not confidential at all. High turnover (including on management teams and HR department) is demoralising and leaves large knowledge gaps.

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.
