Pros

uses vanguard for 401K, benefits begin in 1 month.

Cons

Systems (DOS - Based from the 90's), limited or no mouse control, the company has no money and employees feel the cuts. Systems do not sync with each other, and will waste a lot of your time copying and pasting information between different systems. Tech support is outsourced to India. And they generally give you a bad attitude when you call or for anything out of the ordinary. The systems will give you issues randomly, resulting in a call to tech support. This will take you about 1hr to 2 days to resolve. Management - VERY VERY micromanaged. Managers 2 levels above you will give you pressure. Everyday is a numbers game. My manager would throw numbers at you in the morning, ask how far along you are before you leave for lunch, then again before you leave. a Huge waste of time, and makes all employees miserable. Managers will blatantly tell you to disregard policy and procedure. The employee is then left in a tough situation. I once called banker support to see what they had to say about breaking this policy due to manager/branch discretion. They spoke to the manager and she flat out lied and sounded like she was borderline about to throw me under the bus. Impossible to deal with things like this.

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
