Pros

good work-life balance for most roles and under most managers, flexibility of work locations - working from home is allowed, corporate paid iphone, ambitious macro strategy with relatively good track record of company operations makes you feel excited by the journey with relatively less worry about job security, emphasis on training

Cons

very inconsistent and subjective performance management processes, especially in bank (card is better and more merit based), poor medical insurance coverage - you got a very high deductible and emergency is not covered, relatively low pay compared to local peers

Pros

Environment was good, food was decent, free food at my location (dont know if it was allowed but it was good)

Cons

The rittenhouse location is managed by a tyrant, he is an incredibly toxic man and upper management make it the most unbearable place to work. Andy will ask you to come in on days you're not scheduled, and then hold it over your head if you don't. Talks about employees behind their backs constantly. No respect enforced employees talked about each other all the time and there was even name calling in meetings, management did nothing. Worst place I've ever worked in my life frankly and affected my mental health in the worst way. Glad to be out out of there. The place itself has potential but the management at the Rittenhouse branch and above them is absolutely terrible in every regard.
