Pros

It's a relatively safe place. Not many layoffs. It's difficult to fire people. Pretty good work environment.

Cons

Low pay. Many "lifers". Overall it's a "cheap" bank, with outdated technology.

Pros

I've found the employees are very friendly and there's a great social team that works in my department. Socially, this is the best place I've worked, but I'm not sure how much of that is a function of the company or just luck with hiring.

Cons

The pay is much lower than the norm.

Pros

Lots of opportunites to move ahead within the branches. Strong support for career advancement within company. As long as you're in a branch that allows/encourages such improvement, it will be easy to move up. Staff are friendly, most are very easy to get along with. The vibe depends the most on how the branch manager wants the staff to behave.

Cons

Workload can get heavy. Not for those who do not like dealing with customers. You would have to consider what the job entails. In the branch you have constant customer enuiries in addition to your own customer files, and those handed down from management.
