Pros

Good work life balance. Low expectations and slow-paced culture. High tolerance for mediocrity. Most employees were not ambitious and did not aspire to grow or go 'above and beyond' or be proactive in their roles. These comments apply to HSBC Finance (the old Household organization located in Prospect Heights, IL, and not necessarily the parent company, headquartered in New York in the United States of America).

Cons

Very conservative organization. Hard to generate impact and results. Bias towwards running business as more of the same. Frustrating environment if excellence is important to you to achieve satisfaction.

Pros

Never come. All the positions and all area is same terrible. HR official turnover rate reach to 15%, some core hard working positions even can be a higher rate

Cons

They don't respect employees, there's a suit in New York area initiated by previous bankers in 2023. Because they asked for a lot of volunteering work on formal job but never pay
