Bank of New York Mellon – “Not that bad .. but don't expect promotions/pay raise”

Pros

The work schedule and load are both consistent.
The benefits are very good.
Supervisors in individual departments are personal and genuinely care.
There are events throughout the year that promote unity within the company (parties around the holidays)

Cons

The management is very confident in their ability to run the company and stay above the bottom line with the least amount of effort possible.
The pay raise after a year or 9 months based on performance is almost (90%) never actually granted.
The opportunities to move up are few and far between.

Advice to Senior Management

None.
