Pros

Most of the people who work for the bank in customer facing roles genuinely want to help customers. However they are more than outnumbered by the people hiding in the back offices waiting to ambush staff because the mountains of paperwork that are needed to get anything done is not 100 per cent correct which it never can be.

Cons

Pay is not great and the best way to describe how the business is run is corporate communism.
