Pros

Company excels in training and emphasizing work-life balance. Despite it being a very large company, it has the feel of family on a local level. Despite an emphasis on 'numbers', productivty and client satisfaction, management will continue to seek partnership with employees to extract positive results. Company will always ere on the side of conservative - with technology as well as the conveyance or transfer of information. It is almost ridiculous how cautious they are when it comes ot security. Not convenient for employees, but reassuring for clients.

Cons

Company notoriously under pays. Competition among members of middle management is unrealistic. Client loads can be too large to give the level of service desired. The right hand does not always know what the left hand is doing which creates frustration.

Pros

Good benefits, excelling training and job-related educational material for certain career and job paths

Cons

Salaries are low compared to similar jobs in other companies and fields. Lots of bureaucratic red tape. Low and mid-level leadership at a branch level leaves a lot to be desired. Work environment aspects are stuck in the 1950s, although some progress has been made to update things to the 1990s.
