Pros
Paid and benefits are typically higher then most major banks. Work life balance is better now in this role. A lot of employee functions and events (i.e. summer bbq, holiday dinner) which is nice.
Cons
Investment Operations & Applications (IOA) is a highly politicize department. A lot of things which take place there will frustrate you because they simply don`t make sense! Internal job postings are NOT posted!! You will see people start out of blue and never a posting to be seen. You cannot move up in this department because there is no postings to apply for. This has been bought up to HR and still no change. The general feedback is the VP of IOA is not pleasant and these policies are driven by her. Also, they do not allow for birthday or going away celebrations. They are very anal.
