Pros

Compensation used to be pretty good. Now that subprime losses are a regular occurrence, that probably won't be for much longer. If you work in a profit center, you get treated pretty well. If you work in a cost center though, you are just a burden and are treated like one.

Cons

Management do not trust the employees. Micromanagement is rife. Management are so focused in cost saving, nothing is getting done as everything is over analyzed. Don't expect a 9-5 job. People are expected to be available almost 24/7. If you don't, be prepared to be looked at like you are lazy.

Pros

pay check, relaxed enviroment, Come and go when I please. I can count on my boss for extra support. If I need off, there is never a problem. I have a good time with co-workers. We go to happy hour after a long day in the office and have lots to drink. The security of the office is very good. i feel safe as there are lots of locked doors and cameras that watch are ever more. We have plenty of time away for family and friends. We can pretty much go as we please.

Cons

I'm in control on when I come and go.
