Advice to Management

Stress levels are apparent.

Pros

Decent salary and people are pretty nice. Stable job

Cons

Long hours Don't learn much A lot of older higher ranking employees that seem to be promoted based on just time with firm A lot of young people seem to be leaving for other banks which is problematic and makes me wonder what others offer.
