Pros

37.5 hour week, 5% 401k match, overtime, quick and continuous promotional path, typically work around 41 hours, BNY Mellon looks good on resume, easy once you get the hang of it, stable large bank, sense of pride working for BNY, colleagues behave normally

Cons

They start entry level off at a low salary, high turnover, punch in and punch out culture, low level of employee engagement, company is always looking to cut costs and are often penny wise and pound foolish in regards to spending on things/salary for staff, a lot of people often talk about how they want to leave the company, many people don't really understand finance and just know how to do the operational side It's not a terrible job right out of college, but there are people in their late 20s/30s in my position making under 50k. Many people in back office are not sought after employees. The high turnover and culture of the office means you don't really know many people there well unless you've worked there for years. A lot of people plateau out at supervisor and I still cannot figure out why they still work there. A large part of my job is basically proving that I'm doing my job i.e. I'll do a daily reconciliation and clearly see there are no issues, but I have to print it out, sign it, turn it into a more senior associate, have them sign it, and then file it. They need to hire better people and trust them more instead of having a low wage worker-high level of supervision mentality.
