Pros

Flexible hours, great pension plan. Work environment is very friendly and everyone is always willing to give a helping hand. A lot of times you are able to implement your own strategies to reach your business goals without 24/7 supervisions. The system (met portal) provides everything you need to know about the company. Anything from different products to other services can be found with ease.

Cons

Sometimes managers are not available when they are needed. Very few times, there was a lack of communication between senior management and newly appointed employees about job expectations.

Pros

Good hours. The pay is decent. I enjoy the people I work with in my immediate group. My manager is very flexible and doesn't require more hours than are necessary to get the job done. Business casual dress is the norm. I don't feel micro-managed by my supervisors.

Cons

Difficult to get promotions. Low salary raises. Its hard to get the inside track. The bonuses don't compare to investment banks. No holiday party. The company is pretty conservative.
