Pros

Ok compensation and good benefits (including stock purchase plan) Job security Downtown location is convenient Free banking a bonus Tech devices provided (e.g. BB)

Cons

Bank’s reputation is poor compared to competitors and is poorly led at the most senior levels (no vision) Caustic internal culture (open antagonism between teams) Work life balance for top performers is not there and contribution not recognized Very political internally Overly bureaucratic and risk adverse in areas that don’t matter and not enough in areas that do Compensation not a good as competitors
