Pros

Lots of great clients to work with. You are capable of building great relationships. Not a very sales driven bank. They often look from within to promote as opposed to hiring externally. Bonus structure is easy to understand.

Cons

Pay could be better. Every position seems to have a large work load. You end up doing more work than may be listed in your job description. Bonus period is only twice yearly.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
