Pros

Friendly hard working coworkers. Overall not a bad place to work.

Friendly coworkers albeit not the sharpest pencil. There is no 9 to 6... its 9 till you get your work done.

Pros

solid pay and good benefits; good work life balance and flexibility; HSBC has weathered the storm better than many of the banks by recognizing problems were coming earlier than most and acting accordingly

Cons

technology is outdated, company is too big to make quick decisions, bank branches are old and understaffed, employees are not very knowledgable as processes are arcane; very limited opportunity for promotion or advancement, very little value in long term employees or loyalty
