Pros

-Flexible work arrangements in some business units. -Big emphasis on macros and infusing technology to reduce manual processing and increase efficiency. -Co-workers are friendly enough. I guess that's why they invented the bar.

Cons

-Pay is not competitive, and you have little to no bargaining chips because your position is mostly expendable. -Management has little to no sympathy with the plight of the worker bee. --You're constantly working (by work, I mean reconciling reports, signing off every page, fussing over the minutia, like proper signature & dates). I'm not a lazy person - the work is just very...dull. -Tight deadlines. Constantly.

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.
