Pros

Good job stability, Good benefits, Stock option is a huge plus. These are the 3 pros that keep me from looking elsewhere. Hours are standard. Lots of community involvement and peer socializing.

Cons

Pay and bonus not as high as other banks and are only given on an annual basis. Recognition is there but weak. Totals are equal everywhere but can be harder to attain in certain areas. Promotion to different areas of the company can be political. Career plans aren't whats best for employee only whats best for management (meaning unless your aspiration meets what they want don't expect moving for awhile). To get promoted to better areas in the company you must leave and come back. Question is would you come back?

Pros

Good brand name. Vacation benefits. Flexibility about time and work from home.

Cons

Very poor culture in IT & S area - focus is on passing the buck rather than getting the job done. Incompetent people can survive for a long time. Hard decisions are hardly made.
