Pros

Offered free coffee, tea, water from machines in break rooms. Group parties (Sundae day, potlucks, sports celebrations) Health Insurance, matching 401K contributions, Cafeteria on site for food purchases

Cons

Overly demanding to some employees, while favoritism to others. Severely underpaid for the stress of work expected. Very catty behavior at times, whispers behind the back, backstabbing. Many had no problem throwing a coworker under the bus for their own advancement. Management especially Vice Presidents of departments were extremely immature and did not know how to speak professionally to employees. Threats were used as a means to get things done. Unnecessary multiple titles in each department- this would have been fine if people were getting the assistance they needed when overwhelmed. But instead, this was just an excuse to push more of the work onto the lower paid employees. Sadly, due to the lack of training for employees and Managers, the turnaround here is absurdly high and contrary to belief, they just want to fill a seat and aren't concerned about the the person's experience, or qualifications.

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
