      Pros

      Northern has a very distinct culture that lends itself to a "family" feel. As a result, it's a great place to build solid business relationships. People genuinely appreciate those who go the extra mile or who, at a minimum, are collaborative. Furthermore, the fact that it's accepted and to some degree encouraged that partners move around the organization is a major plus. Northern also does a great job with the work/life balance.

      Cons

      Clique-y in nature, sometimes hard work is not properly rewarded, but mediocrity is accepted among the "favorites". Skilled employees are not at "market" in salary; thus Northern is not competitive, and quite truthfully, cheap.

      Pros

      Northern is a leader in the industry and the name and reputation command respect. Client service is very important and has helped set us apart from the others. Good benefits. It has not been hurt as badly in the past year as any of the other banks. I do get raises!!! Wide variety of services we can provide for clients. Very conservative culture. Sensitive to minority groups (Women, LGBT, Asian, Latin, African-American)

      Cons

      Not quick to hire replacements for people who have left - saves money. (If you hire good people they will pick up the slack for a long time, doing 2 jobs for the price if one.) Bonuses and raises are small. Changes happen slowly. Sometimes important things are learned through the grapevine, not from management. Intense sales pressure
