      Pros

      Lifestyle. Easy to "hide" and cushy if you are in with the right people.

      Cons

      Old boys club. Lack of diversity. Tends to be hierarchical and bureaucracy is par for the course.

      Pros

      Great benefits, great parties and perks. Compensation is great. There are actually some great people who are willing to help you. They are not cheap and they still have team building activities.

      Cons

      Bad Managements stay and nothing being done!! They demoralize people and make people not productive. Especially if you are applying for the back office like Marketing or Finance or IT, RUN away or don't join this place. Moral is at all times low at these departments. Very high turnover. Some stayed 2 months, some don't give notices. Some left without jobs waiting. But all of these because they are so dissatisfied with management. These people are getting paid a lot of money and yet they leave! Some managers even had all of the workers left but 1 person. Lots of favoritisms. So if you are a favorite than your career can go up. No real growth.

      Pros

      It's apparent to me which departments are happy and which are struggling after reading the reviews. Each area and dept is managed differently and employees have a wide range of experiences because of that. In my position, we have great culture, and pretty good management.

      Cons

      The bank has changed over the last year or 2. Morale is lower, stress is higher, and salaries are lower than industry average. There has been large turnover in specific teams because of employee frustrations in combination with competitor poaching.
