Pros

HSBC has great benefits, casual work environment and being a supervisor I really didn't do that much except babysit.

Cons

Working odd hours and Saturdays. Senior management does not run the ship, it is run by HSBC overseas, one day I came into work and we had to let go of 15 employees, right after Household and Beneficial closed! How work friendly is that. No notice to the employees as always.
