Pros
This company provides opportunities for growth and advancement for its employees PROVIDED you are working in one of the good offices and with professional people. I worked in two different offices, Jacksonville, FL and Boston, MA. My time in Jacksonville was very well spent for the most part. I learned a lot about the business and espeically how to handle multiple projects during the course of a given day. For the region the salary was fair. When I started here, it took some time to get up to speed for some of the more complicated processes used by the Bank, but other employees assured me that it was common and were willing to assist. The management here at the time was accommadating about giving employess time off for vacation or sick leave, sometimes too accomodating. I had access to senior management here and I found most of them to be good people. I thought the overall treatment of employees was good and much better than many other places I had worked at. There was also opportunity for advancement; promotions happened quite frequently. I worked with some truly wonderful people here.
Cons
The office I worked in in Boston was less professional than the one I worked in in Jacksonville. I'm not sure why. There are many offices in Boston, so I can only speak to the environment in this one. Although I rarely felt overworked, many of the employees in this office felt overworked. At times, the language and attitude toward subordinates by many relationship managers here was demeaning or borderline abusive. It would be grounds for reprimand or dismissal in many other companies (or in the Jacksonville office) but nothing ever seemed to happen about it here. Overall, there were some personalities in the office that made it a toxic place to be and it showed. My manager seemed to always be overwhelmed with her work and upset at me that I wasn't doing her job for her. I was always able to complete my work. Working in this office really soured the positive experiences and opinions I had once held about the Bank.
