Pros
- The management in my department was fantastic. - Home vs. Work balance was great. - Management had great intentions.
Cons
The bank is stuck in the stone age. Every process, procedure and price hasn't been changed since the early 90's. They have a new CEO who is fantastic and wants to push the company forward but he is being met with fierce opposition. I witnessed the same opposition in my position. The bank has employed the same people for a long time, and all of those people are extremely afraid of change. This fear causes immense amounts of push back. This creates a very "Cliquey" environment. If you provide ideas that are progressive or outside the short sight of some of those long time/scared people, you are treated poorly. I was literally ignored by one of the higher ups. I have never been blatantly ignored in a professional environment in my life, I would say good morning or hello and that person would not even acknowledge my existence. All because I shared ideas that opposed her way of thinking/life. Those opposed to change would rather manually keep track of things via spreadsheets and hard paper than to move into the digital age. Usually the job is the reason things don't work out but this was the opposite, it was the people.
