Pros
I had some great knowledgeable colleagues who were very customer centric to both internal and external clients. There was the ability to meet people from different areas within the bank if you were working on a project that was fully supported.
Cons
Very low pay especially if you were promoted within. I left for a public sector/ non-management position and still was able to make 20% more. Outside hires would start at significantly more pay. Senior management no longer supported projects that would help increase productivity or efficiencies only projects that would being in revenue, usually at the expense of the customers. Branch staff, originally financial professionals just beginning their careers were replaced by unprofessional cheaper personnel with backgrounds in retail. Again the customer suffered...
