More pain, no gain

Pros

401K is great, but low-performance makes it inexistent. Great work and family balance. Great coworkers, not many slackers. Great lunchrooms, full of drinks.

Cons

You are overworked and will take on many tasks, there is no limit to the things you do. The only limit is how much you will make. Outdated technology, high turnover and management doesn't care. Poor training with low pay.

Pros

Get all government holidays off. Hours are good, Mon to Fri, 9 to 5. Don't have to work weekends. Have pot lucks and nice xmas party.

Cons

The pay is horrible!! Most people have to work a 2nd job since the pay is so low. And the bonuses suck. No matter how hard you work, you don't get a good bonus. Some managers don't do anything and are always calling out or leaving early.

Pros

Good footing for starting in the financial or banking industry. Seems to be good advancement if your liked or favored. a larger company with a small company feel.

Cons

Small mindedness through out all branches if your not liked you better get use to being a teller and not moving up. Gossip and cattiness between branches and employees. Lack of cohesive practices between corporate and branches. Oh and don't forget the mediocre pay :)
