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.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
