Pros

Excellent Benefits. Decent employment stability. Tough economy now, limited opportunities are available in the job place. HSBC has an excellent benefit package that includes tuition reimbursement. This could alllow one to continue their education while working. Good overall health and other benefits as well. One of the few companies left that actually has a pension plan

Cons

Below average compensation and advancement opportunities

Pros

HSBC is constantly striving to be a leader for both the customers and the employees. I feel the pay is above average compared to similar jobs in the area as well the benefits that HSBC offers are second to none.

Cons

With the economy the way it is now there are many changes taking place. The upper management isn't communicating with the employees if the changes are going to affect them and how. This is leading to speculation that the site is going to close as did one of the other sites recently.

Pros

You can't beat the benefit package (excluding salary). The benefit begins the first day of employment. Their health insurance consists of HMO, PPO, and EPO, which is a combination of HMO and PPO without the ridiculous premium. With EPO you can go to any physician within the same network without having to get a referral from your primary. The vision and dental are fantastic too. There are also some other benefit such as legal assistance, AD&D and death benefit, to name a few. The vacation days for the average staff is about 10 t0 14 days a year and there's about 4 days which are time off with pay.

Cons

The salary was not the competitive considering it's one of the largest banking corporation in the world. There is a lot of pressure to sell and most staff members are very on top of their job duties. I think the senior management are the ones that needs training. As an ex-employee, I felt I received a good amount of training for the duties I was performing. For the most part, I felt since my co-workers and myself were front line people, we were very familiar as to the customer's wants and needs, their different types of personality, various products that were being promoted. For the duration of my employment, not once did our district officer ever complimented any staff members, even when quotas were met. There is a constant barrage of nasty email by this officer, we were told to never contact him for anything, we were not to send him any emails, and when it came time for bonus, we were told we would receive 70% less because the bank "accidentally" set the goals to low. I think this bank has an infrastructure problem.
