      I have been working at M&T Bank full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Successful business, very smart business people. More stock compensation if possible. Good place overall. Very good place to learn and build a career. I think you are doing a great job. People very engaged and nice overall. Performance oriented but not a shark tank.

      Cons

      No cafeteria...while growing regionally, nyc is not the headquarters. As such there are limited jobs outside of the client facing businesses they have in the region.

      Advice to Management

      More stock compensation if possible. Good place overall. Very good place to learn and build a career. I think you are doing a great job. People very engaged and nice overall. Performance oriented but not a shark tank.

      Pros

      Great culture. Everyone on our team is friendly, approachable, and willing to share their expertise. It's a great organization to grow your skills. Management is invested in your growth, work-life balance and ensuring that you have a positive experience in your tenure.

      Cons

      The company is extremely slow to adapt to change, especially changes in technology. Getting new software/applications is like pulling teeth. There is a general lack of innovation within the company - there are highly intelligent and innovative people working at the bank, but management seems focused on performing business as usual unless mandated otherwise.

      Advice to Management

      Be more willing to embrace and adapt to change in industry and technology.

      I worked at M&T Bank full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      M&T offers good hours, benefits, many locations, good vacation time, paid schooling.

      Cons

      Some management is allowed to let there authority become a power trip for them and are allowed to treat others rather poorly.

      Advice to Management

      Go back to treating your employees as if you cared about them. Stop allowing some management to harass other employees.

      I worked at M&T Bank full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      After completing the MDP program, I was given many opportunities to work on large-scale, visible projects. I had some very good managers who empowered me to do things the way I felt was necessary. If you have a lot of political savvy, you'll advance.

      Cons

      Good people are given great assignments, but you have to work a lot of extra hours to get them done. Still male-dominated leadership.

      Advice to Management

      Walk the talk when it comes to work/life balance.

      I worked at M&T Bank full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Good work/life balance in Buffalo. Fairly risk averse business strategy so company performance is stable.

      Cons

      You have to live in Buffalo! Long and dreary winters though a short summer is very pleasant. A lot of employees are locals and are likely to work there until they retire; when these individuals get into higher positions, it will reduce upward mobility for others as their spot won't open until they retire or are let go.

      Pros

      Great people to work with, if you take an initiative, do good work and can network, you have a bright future here.

      Cons

      Equity -- promotional and $$

      Advice to Management

      Create a process on how you promote people because different business lines become more or less attractive based on how quickly they promote their employees.
