Pros

Many tenured knowledgeable employees with historical knowledge of the organization. Growing by acquisition. Management hires and values employees with PNC or National City banking experience.

Cons

Reactive, slow to change, decision making by consensus. Does not value employees as much as stockholders. Many employees just hanging on until retirement
