      Pros

      Middle management generally understanding of employee's personal needs.

      Cons

      Collaboration between groups in the bank is very difficult to accomplish, and never possible in a timely manner. IT infrastructure fragmented across groups. Front office does not recognise the difficulties caused by the above.

      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.
