Pros

The compensation is decent and its reputation is well known in the industry. Some individuals, depending on the group, were actually enjoyable to work alongside regardless of their position within the company. Titles also mean nothing, they're simply a pay scale indicator...so someone whose a director may not have any more authority than an associate director.

Cons

I found that many individuals in senior management would often talk badly about their counterparts or subordinates infront of other employees. This was very demoralizing because it makes one wonder if they're being talked about in the same manner. The manner in which some of the co-op/intern students we're treated was also nothing to take lightly.

Pros

Honestly at this point length of service and proximimity to retirement date. In the past it was a great place. Because of the size and multiple locations it does offer diversity in job options.

Cons

In the past the Bank had employees now they have resources. Overtime is a big issue, for the job level I now occupy some overtime is expected. The problem is due to the nature of the job you can hit stretches where you need to put in an additional 20 hours for many weeks in a row. No compensation is offered and it has been made very clear, that you had better not even ask. In other departments at the same level excessive overtime is compensated with time off or pay. I have families and a personal lifes and when I am at work I am not the only wo is deprived.
