Pros

Starting pay is competitive, benefits are fairly good, and you have the potential to work with quite a few good colleagues and great customers.

Cons

Overwhelming focus on meaningless metrics and selling products that don't add value for the customer. The best employees are not recognized or rewarded, while the mediocre and incompetent employees are tolerated and even promoted if they say the right empty phrases.

Pros

Like the headquarters of most large companies, there a lots of opportunities to meet people in different functions, learn about other areas of the firm, and create inroads to new career opportunities. The pay is decent, too. Lots of good people work here. Great location in the middle of downtown Cincinnati.

Cons

Lots of internal politics, people who never follow through on promises, huge focus on "face time." Workload management is generally load up your subordinates until things are constantly falling off their plates, then change their priorities. This is due to the fact that the bank struggles to set priorities for the organization as a whole from the top down. Groups who support the whole enterprise then get caught in the ricochet of competing priorities from the business units.

Pros

If you like the 53 commercials about people lying to each other, you'll love working here. Same values!

Cons

53 has mandated RTO in the hopes that enough people will quit that they don't have to pay out severances during layoffs. it's not working. Leaders "black out" when giving instructions and then will blame their employees for carrying out their directives. This comes right from the top - the CMO admits to blacking out during meetings and "can't remember" what she asked her team to do or not do.
