Pros

Good pay and benefits with flexible working hours. Working from home is always an option

Cons

There is no accountability for poor performance. Management lives in it's own little boys club patting themselves on the back preaching this "Go to bank" nonsense as vrevenues fall and clients run out the door. The amount of self righteous notifications to their employees on how the Transform plan is working out is sickening as they continue to miss revenue estimates.
