Pros

The compensation is fair with what the street pays, and as with most big companies there are opportunities to move internally. The benefits are good.

Cons

Hours were long and there wasn't much work life balance. Also, compensation was not looked at across groups and so there was some inequity between groups in how people were paid.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
