Pros

Good insurance plan and benefits. The name looks good on your business card or resume in the technology and start-up world.

Cons

Get paid commercial banking dollars while being pushed to work investment banking hours. It also seems as if 'urgency' has been turned into 'crisis' all the time.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Most colleagues are nice.

Cons

Went from fully remote to one day a month to one day a week and then will be going to two days a week in AZ just because the senior manager wanted to and he stated "It would be worse". Since FCB took over they have been promising to adjust our pay to the current market value and inflation and have yet to do so but are requiring us to travel into the office. Senior Management does not care about employees well being. Systems are constantly broken and customers have to deal with jumping through hoops to access their money or provide their compliance requirements. There is no formal training for new hires. Lazy colleagues are allowed to do what they want while others are trying to provide service to the few clients that are not leaving. Outdated PTO and Sick time policies. No employee surveys have been provided since FCB took over.

Pros

- Good on the job training opportunities - Good name recognition for resumes (before they failed)

Cons

- Underpaid Analysts and Associates while the higher ups got all the real comp. - Extremely rude and inconsiderate co-workers. Once they knew I was leaving to work somewhere else for more much more money, they immediately turned on me and began criticizing everything. -Toxic work environment that ended in me working a role equivalent to a sweat shop underwriter. They will squeeze as much productivity out of you as they can until you either leave or adapt to being an underpaid servant worker. - Management was clearly out to lunch (or should I say golfing)
