Pros

As a global institution we can support our business and personal customers on an international basis which creates some job security and opens other career oppertunities.

Cons

Very high demands of employess, unrealistic expectations for sales goals. Sr management makes "number" decisions based on a goal they want to attain rather than improvements in existing numbers. There is a big disconnect between expectation and reality.
