Pros

Like someone else had said, free food, free coffee, great location, and slightly bearable co-workers.

Cons

Awful people at the top! The worst experience in an office ever, someone was crying in the bathroom 3/5 days of the week. They do same day layoffs, they fired a lot of employees some had worked there 4+ years and were let go on the spot. There the definition of people with a " I got mine, screw yours attitude." And that is truly horrible for a bank.

Pros

The people outside of the family and senior management were nice

Cons

The CEO and COO ? (kate) are completely incompetent and unethical although the acted like they were superior to others and both ethics and competency. The CEO hired his son and son-in-law‘s because men are supposed to take care of their wives… That’s from an interview from the CEO. It would be one thing if they knew what they were doing, but these relatives and in-laws were just as incompetent.
