Pros

30 days holidays, great people, interesting work - a mix of strategic and operational HR, good opportunities for advancement and progression

Cons

There is a long hours culture in HR, senior management sees it, and tries to do something about it but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Pay is low compared to competitors

Pros

Barclays Bank of Delaware does in fact pay very well in comparision to many other industries.

Cons

When you actually figure out the time required to be spent at work as well as the difficult environment the hourly wage comes out much less than expected. You are always having to do 200% with no down time and fire fighting instead of planning. Often encouragement to do more overtime and work is done with whips and bats instead of understanding that they have asked the same people to do 200% for the past 8 continious months..
