Pros

Good benefits. Decent entry level job. If you have a decent manager, you may get to places, but chances are they're probably gone.

Cons

Salary is not aligned with the rest of the industry. Employees are treated unfairly. Promotions are based on luck of team, not performance. Performance reviews reflect nothing. Smart, bright people who stay are punished by oppressive managers who are looking out for their own self interest to keep you.

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.
