Pros

The required work hours are only 37.5 hours with overtime for my department. Constant ongoing workload

Cons

Lack of professionalism within the work environment - I see employees sitting at their desk discussing issues while work is still needed to be completed.. Mid level management seems to cater towards certain employees, and not recognize employee effort.

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.
