Pros

Great people, decent benefits, relatively easy to move up

Cons

It shows that they always opt for the cheapest option possible. It is easy to move up, but they don't compensate you for the extra work load you are taking on. Moves that at any other bank would be considered a promotion are called lateral moves here in order to avoid paying you what the work is worth.
