Pros

The only Pro I can think of is they offer health insurance. The only problem is it takes up a big chunk of your pay.

Cons

If you work in the lower levels of the bank ,you might spend your days wondering if this is the day you get tapped on the shoulder. Do to cost cutting policies by upper management a lot of the work has been offshoredfor cheap labor. Quality doesn't matter as they've kept 5 people to fix the mistakes. Too much work and no overtime. Management invents reasons to not give you a raise/bonus. The newest way is behavior ratings. Don't forget to smile at your manager. If not you might get written up for a bad attitude. Direct managers tend to be petty and vindictive.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
