Pros

they do a lot of community work and volunteer work.

Cons

They say they leave the decision to work remote to direct managers but then come down hard on them to get their team into the office as much as possible. If you have worked here for more than 2 years you are likely underpaid. They are bringing on junior admins at 100k minimum. Once you start don't expect anything higher than 3% raise on a good year. Expect your yearly rating to be on how popular you are, not on your skill level. if you put your head down and do great work but don't speak up or do presentations you will be passed up for promotion by someone who is an extrovert. The more you talk to managers (not necessarily about work) and get your name around, the better chance people will recall your name during reviews.

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.
