Pros

Benefits; Federal Holidays Off; Discounts on all kinds of goods like electronics, services, cell phones, flowers, clothes; 401(k) and match; LOTS of vacation time; subsidized commuter benefits, pre-tax; medical, dental, vision, etc., the usual.

Cons

NO GYM!!! Downtown office location; company doesn't help you find parking; have to find your own parking, and believe me, some of those downtown parking lots are really dark/scary/gross/dangerous; pressured into doing volunteer work (though on the company time); no place to sit for new hires; I was stuck in a "mobile office" like some guest and had to lock up my things in a locker every time I walked away; my boss is too busy even to give me assignments - I have no idea what I'm supposed to be working on. No one talks to you unless you're in their little group - people are so rude they don't even introduce themselves. Managers schedule meetings during lunch without consideration for your time...

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
