Pros

The position (Trade Specialist) is very easy to get a hang of which makes it a good entry level position.

Cons

Virtually no advancement in any way, shape, or form.. Been here for 3 years, and when I started (as PNC Global Investment Servicing) there was promise of advancement and plenty of room for growth... have seen nothing... 1% raise raise in each of the years I have been here is the most I've seen..

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.
