Pros

Great pay, global presence allows for relocation opportunity around country or world, well respected and well known franchise, fundamentally sound institution during recession.

Cons

Obnoxiously obsolete processes and technical systems, communication within the organization amongst other regions/countries is lacking. Somewhat difficult to be known given the number of employees.

Pros

Good benefits, profit sharing plans. Very flexible with schedule and understanding when time off needed. A lot of rewards and recognition programs with various bonuses(some are very lucrative) and prizes that could be won, and as well as a a monthly bonus system ranging from up to $1000 a month. Management values diversity and has several committees and tries to get employees involved. Green Team, and Fun team are two of them. Values sustainability. Management is expected to constantly train employees. Metric evaluations are also very detailed.

Cons

Management is not always competent and can be rude/powertrip (something consistent after 6 years of working their). Work can be very monotonous. Hard to stay motivated. Sometimes upper management decisions don't always sit well with employees (closing of departments or reducing staff). Sometimes it can seem more like employees are numbers. Not much to complain about just bad managers. Some policies that employees do not like.
