Pros

The CEO is good and the HR department does try to keep things competitive.

Cons

The CIO is horrible and insecure. The CIO leads with fear and is toxic and so does her leadership team. A lot of IT leaders have left the organization, the only ones who remain are others that line up with the bully, fearful mentality that the CIO leads with. Has implemented a culture of micro managing and control. Has done a great job and disempowering her employees. Only cares about how she looks to her senior leadership and steps on the ones below her. Short on resources for projects and yet has no issue abandoning her team when difficulties arise. Takes full credit when projects go well. Was filtered down that the CIO would not back her team to the board in projects that were behind.

Pros

Clients are amazing. Made some real friends.

Cons

No advancement. Will promise you the world to get you to stay. Ask you to give as much notice as possible when you are leaving but will find a ridiculous reason to fire you. Never hitting financial targets so no bonuses. Terrible branch management.
