Pros

Friendly work atmosphere.

Cons

Long hours, lack of training and guidance (no mentorship). Upper management consists mostly of Spanish expats, and advancement opportunities for local staff are non-existent (I haven't heard of anyone advancing during my two years at the bank). Heavy on paperwork. Low caps on bonuses. Software systems are out-of-date, in spanish and provide conflicting data (Spanish fluency is a big advantage). Health insurance coverage sub-par and expensive for industry.
