Pros

Great benefits package from medical/dental/vision to 401k matching, tuition reimbursement and discounts for BNY Mellon employees on just about everything.

Cons

Hard work is almost discouraged. Very little praise from management for a job well done. No incentive to work hard and stand out. If someone is inadequate at their position they are usually promoted and moved to a different department.

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.
