Pros

Decent money and growing reputation of the brand. Part of Barclays brand name. Company is making the right noises about change and business transformation.

Cons

No focus on employee and career development. Company will often look outside to source talent. There just isn't enough 'real leadership' within the business, particularly within Private Banking.
