Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay for a bank (but don't expect a raise) Free health insurance option

Cons

Huge disconnect between upper management and the people actually doing the work. The managing team is very close-minded and only operates in an old-fashioned mindset while trying to tout how innovative and great the company is. They try to get employees to drink the Kool-Aid during meetings and generate a false "go team" attitude while glossing over the negative reviews and suggestions from the employees on how to create a better, more motivating workplace. Also, most mid-level managers are just puppets who claim to advocate for lower-level employees but don't have the spine to push back on any ideas from the upper echelon due to the fear that it could impact their career trajectory. Absolutely no room for growth and no real ability to grow within the bank unless you have connections to people with money that they think you can bring over Blatant favoritism Forcing the "old-guard" out (i.e. managers who had been there for a long time with good ideas on how to maintain employee morale) for people who want to rule with an iron fist and impose their narrow-minded will on employees
