Pros
There are some really nice people who work here and while there are some people on cruise control others work very hard to do the right thing. Management asks for our opinions once a year and sometimes they react to our opinions. Good place to gain some experience as long as you remember when it’s time to move on and look out for yourself!
Cons
There is a constant push to do more, more, more. 60-70 hrs weeks common (to get a 1-2% raise or bonus). It never lets up! It’s not uncommon to find people working at home at midnight after an 11 hour day. We are told to balance and take time if you need it but that is followed up with “when will you be done?” No time for lunch or a work out so what is the point if the gym? Increases are always small. If you take a job here make sure if they tell you to expect a $$ bonus and include it in your “total compensation snd benefits package the you get guarantee in writing or they’ll forget! Professionals made sure your a minimum of a grade 73 and a VP (it a bank remember do titles count) to get any bonus or decent vacation. Plan on leaving if you want to make a jump in salary! They will abuse you if you let them!!!! Of course like most big businesses the bottom line is important for senior management bonuses so if they need to cut expenses they don’t hesitate to cut even their oldest employees.
