Pros
Banner isn't too big of a bank, so you can actually interact with folks who matter in the organization. Very experienced, intelligent people running the bank. The bank is more on the conservative side, which is part of the reason we made it through the downturn.
Cons
It seems difficult to advance in your career. Several retired people were brought back in to help after the recession in 08. Until these folks retire, upward movement has been minimal. There are few younger employees to take over once the big wave of retirement happens. However, my biggest complaint about working here is how many people sit around, gossip, and don't actually work. That old 80/20 rule holds true in this bank.
