Pros

186 quarters of profitability; this Bank isn't going anywhere. They grow through acquisition of smaller, troubled Banks. Many employees have been with the Bank for a very long time; average tenure is 7+ years, nearly double the industry average.

Cons

They run a very tight ship. That means they "do more with less" and specifically means that even during busy times, they are cautious to hire. Also means that there is a high amount of focus on expenses....to include salary expenses.

Pros

Bank Holidays and the vacation time

Cons

They hire knowing there is not enough work to keep you busy, Lack of pay and what they promised to make up for the pay in bonus and OT does not happen. Lack of experienced management who knows what they are doing. QC department that picks on every small detail vs knowing how to get a loan purchased and move on. MOST OF ALL, there is NO training. You are left out in to figure and fend for yourself the M&T Bank way. Lots of useless weekly meetings and the only ones that stay are the long time employees are have no experience working in a "real" mortgage company to know what is right and wrong.
