Pros

The company is a solid financial institution that came out of the financial crisis well positioned for success. The company places a great deal of emphasis on employees maintaining a work/life balance. Company offers a career for everyone, whether they wish to stay in the same position, or look for promotional opportunities. It's all up to the employees to make promotions happen.

Cons

Promotional opportunities are naturally limited outside of the bank's main retail footprint. Base salary is middle of the road, or slightly below, but the company offers incentive (variable) compensation plans that try to make up the difference. However, these incentive plans are either tied to company, line of business or portfolio success. Depending on the plan, and outside factors, it may be hard to realize 100% of the incentive payout.

Pros

Laid back production work in an office setting. Great management.

Cons

Steep learning curve for the machines. Can be frustrating as machinery only works for about a minute before you have to make adjustments.

Pros

The pay is market average, and the benefits are quite good. I love my peers. The vast majority of them are kind and talented people. I truly enjoyed my first several years with the company. Well past the honeymoon period for a new employer. And at the time, I recommended this place to anyone I knew looking for a job.

Cons

Management is a mess from the bottom up. The culture of the company has drastically changed over the last several years because of frequent retirements, layoffs, and reorganizations. Employees I know from across describe the same experience: the company has gone from outstanding culture to one that feels openly hostile to its employees. Management decisions are built like cudgels and enforced through all stick and no carrot.
