Pros

Global company but good luck going global if you are less than district manager. Good luck becoming district manager within first 10 years of employment. Benefits are thr best and tme off allowance is great.

Cons

Hours we work are long. There is no support from middle managment and when it is time to take a fall branch manager is the on- unless you are the favorite of one of the higher ups. In that case you can do what you want. Not good company for women small percentages get anywhere and many women managers go through much more scruitny than men.

Pros

HSBC has started a work from home program, which is very generous and a good morale builder.

Cons

This is a very hierarchal company. There are so many gatekeepers and senior management expects you to be intimidated. In many cases, managers are in the position they are not due to their skill set, rather because they've been with the company for 20+ years. Poor management is not addressed. Many employees are non-degreed and thus intimidated into believing they can't do better anywhere else, so they all just "drink the Kool-Aid" and don't ask questions or rock the boat.
