Pros

Senior management is finally giving Commerical and Corporate Banking the green light to start doing bigger deals. A new leadership team in Credit Administration has done wonders. Finally, we can do deals that make sense.

Cons

The pay is absolutely pathetic, and promotions just don't happen. Unless you come from outside the bank, you're considered a booger eater, but if you have JPM, WFC, or BAC, on your resume, then this is the place to work. Name your price, and they will pay it. Just make sure you have those banks on your resume or you will be considered an imbecile.

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.
