      Simple overview of a simple bank.

      Pros

      Safe secure bank that would do well in the current environment.

      Cons

      Overly prudent... to the extent of turning away businesses that can be accepted and spending too much time and effort on risk management.

      Pros

      The division had very smart people. The work was at thesame time challenging and intellectually stimulating. I was given a lot of responsibility right out of college. The management was very competent and supportive of work life balance. Every work day was interesting in a different way with an excellent balance between quantitative and qualitative work. The office is especially nice with a great gym and break room equipped with pool, ping-pong, foosball and Direct TV satelitte on a 50 inch flat screen TV. I can't think of a better place to start your professional career. For a year I learned more than during four years in college.

      Cons

      The company as a whole is too big and cumbersome. The most important decisions were made from Senior Management at the Headquarters that had no contact with the business operations. At times there were feeling of dissatisfaction of not knowing if your work is going to matter.

      Pros

      Goof place if you are interested in an international opportunity as the bank has a lot of offices all around the world. It is very difficult to find a secondment though and only the most networked employees with tons of patience can find something.

      Cons

      No career prospects in Salinas. Very limited training available to employees and all learning has to be due to self-initiative. The culture of the bank is very much driven by "don't ask too many questions in senior management meetings" or you are considered to be disrespectful.
