Pros

The supervisors I work with are very helpful and push us to exceed. I feel the pay is similar to that of other banks in the Pittsburgh region, the benefits are decent as well. There are some opportunities for advancement, if you know the right people to talk to.

Cons

Very stressful work environment. I have been stuck working significant overtime for 7 months now due to lack of staffing. There is little job security in that quite a few positions are being outsourced to India and other people are being laid off in the Pittsburgh region. I do not feel that this is a good company to move forward with.

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.
