Pros

Not many. If you want a job where you just chill all day then it's perfect. Some roles permit working from home which is nice. Kinda impossible to get fired unless you really do something awful.

Cons

Basically no raises. Even the base raise is less than inflation so you almost lose money each year. Always under staffed and of course under paid. Only good thing they had was tuition reimbursement but that's also gone. They try to prevent you from moving up or switching jobs. No real career path. Managers don't care. So much disconnect. Typical big bank bs. They nickel and dime everything. They literally took away the trash cans under our desk to save money. Since they were company owned trash cans, they had to pay someone to empty them so that was their grand plan to save money. Healthcare used to be good but of course not anymore. HR process is terrible. Very unresponsive. Some roles make you work holidays and try to pull a fast one by having you have a different day off instead of paying you the extra hours for coming in a day you're supposed to have off. If you get hired from external, they pay those people more for the same role compared to if you were to make an internal move. Quite mind boggling.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
