Pros

It was a good experience. Everyone had relatively high salaries for the type of work they seemed to be doing.

Cons

Low morale and a quiet work environment without much collaboration made getting through the day a chore. People didnt seem to move very fluidly from position to position like the rest of the industry.

Pros

The bank is very good at allowing people to make lateral moves in order to get exposure to other business lines.

Cons

The bank treats employees like a number and not like a person. Management constantly changes their mind on how to run the business. The bank doesn't pay based on performance. If your group had a great year, but management doesn't want to grow your business they will underpay and hope you leave.

Pros

Upper management was very intuitive in making the necessary changes to turn the bank around. Was given a lot of independence to complete my own tasks without my boss breathing over my shoulder and within a couple of months my responsibilities doubled.

Cons

Hard to break in as people from other teams aren't welcoming to inexperienced hires. There was a lot of redundancies being made while I was there.
