Pros

Generous 401k match, ability to work from home.

Cons

Strategic roles increase responsibility faster than the pay or job title does. Layoffs happen too often for a bank that is supposedly focused on growth. Above average performers sacrifice a lot of work-life balance. Not all people managers are trained to manage people. Extremely limited career opportunities in Buffalo.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
