Pros

- PTO package and benefits are good

Cons

- Ancient technology despite their so called tech hub - Do not allow full remote positions and would rather cram employees into an open office during a pandemic without regard for safety or preferences. - Compensation is below market. They do not give increases ever year either which is terrible. - They will make you work overtime on a regular basis without regards to your work/life balance - SO MANY MEETINGS. At least 4-5 hours per day, minimum. You have no time to get any work done because you'll have constant meetings that could have easily been summed up in an email memo. - They don't care to listen to newer employees who have ideas and would rather stay stuck in the past doing tasks that could easily be automated.

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.
