Pros

Not many. The bank does have a strong financial position; however, ownership does not offer stock or similar LTI as the bank is ultimately family owned.

Cons

I do not recommend working here as it is a dysfunctional, hostile work environment. Employees are constantly on edge and are undervalued, unappreciated and as a result unmotivated. As an empathetic and motivational leader, I was chastised by Senior management who wanted me to micro-manage and demoralize my team. HR is extremely biased towards Senior leadership and effectively works against the average employee. While there are pockets of good people, overall leadership is authoritarian and manipulates employees into doubting their own perceptions or concerns. They also lack accountability and blame others for their failures, play favorites and gaslight good employees.
