Pros

Insurance benefits are pretty good. 401k has a company match.

Cons

Manager talks to you like you a 1st grader. Manager monitors sign in book and marks a person tardy after 1 minute. You are watched like you are in a maximum security prison. Manager will talk down to you from across the room for everyone to hear and also but into private conversations you have.

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.
