Pros

- Hours were not very demanding.

Cons

- Extremely bureaucratic- There's a ton of red tape for even the simplest of tasks. - Hierarchical- Managers will rarely disagree with anyone above them. - Boring- Let's face it, custodial banking is incredibly boring. There's also a plethora of business buzzwords constantly used and an incredible amount of incompetency throughout the AVP and VP levels.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
