Pros

-Decent 401k plan with matching until vested -Clean facilities -Good paid vacation terms -Co-workers are "all in the same boat" so good camaraderie amongst those in the trenches

Cons

-Grossly underqualified management (no or low education, "street" style of management) -Nepotism and favoritism -Less than 1% salary increase per annum -No upward mobility (unless via nepotism or favoritism) -Often a hostile work environment in which entry-level workers, especially, are exploited by managers who pass their tasks on to underqualified employees -Job responsibilities increase with no increase in compensation -Low entry-level and mid-management salaries (stuck there for duration of employment)

Pros

After the latest re-structuring and going agile, I don't find any. But before, a stable bank with a good book of work. Positive environment with support from your colleagues. Industry standard medical plan and vacations.

Cons

Bonuses and salary raises are hugely dependent on who you know in the senior management and how they perceive you rather than what you actually delivered.
