Pros
Decent working conditions and comp some nice colleagues
Cons
Ego centric ‘leaders’ who are unqualified for their roles and driven for personal success. No real feedback is wanted. Just fall in line or else.
Advice to Management
To the Board, select a new ceo who will eliminate the passive aggressive culture and bring in qualified and straightforward execs who know how to run a business

Pros
almost everything about this place is now either bank-like or headed in that way. There's little difference except banks have more products and services. Big company mentality. Big company managers. No outside the box thinking here.
Cons
Impossible to get a promotion unless you are a political ninja who cosies up to the people of influence. Processes suck. Company is focused on the bank application and nothing else. Meh!!! Kind sucks all around.
Advice to Management
Remember the members, its them we want to impress. Trust employees, they know more about what's going wrong and how to fix it.

Pros
People are friendly. Great work like balance compared favourably with Government jobs for pay, which is good and hours which are low. Nic working environment.
Cons
Company is behind the times. People are largely complainers and slackers. Leadership team is full of politicians with no industry experience and no bold vision. new ceo appears to have spent career in Risk jobs only and it shows.
Advice to Management
Need a complete reboot of this place. People, strategy, leadership, and culture all have to change.
