Pros
The bank is solid financially and I feel my job is safe. The job has flexibility and allows me the family time that other jobs have not. If you like not working weekends and little overtime this is the place. The bank is large and if one wants to try other areas or change careers inside the bank that is encouraged. Continuing education is encouraged as well as inside learning opportunities. The also have a mentoring program and they do local events to connect people in different departments.
Cons
The bank is very check the box and our area is very credit driven. People seem to not comingle much. The benefits could be better especially the medical plans. Bonuses are okay but nothing crazy and promotions at my level are infrequent. The work environment is very basic and not flashy like some industries. The little extras don’t happen like lunches, free pop, fun small events. Our department throws a holiday party, but they make us pay for the spouse which seems crazy to me.
