Pros

Diverse workforce, Friendly coworkers, work-balance, and laid back culture. Remodeled branches.

Cons

Low pay and Worst IT System called Partnenon. Weak benefits. No overtime available. Too much ra ra with spirit awards. Just pay me and I might be more satisfied.

Pros

good benefits, great management, opportunities are here if you want to work in banking

Cons

there is a persistent demand for sales, which is probably common for all consumer banks. in order to move ahead you have to be very sales driven, if you are it is really a great place to work. if you aren't it is still a great place to work, but you might not move as fast

Worst Company I've ever worked for.

Pros

The potential to be on the ground floor of a large international bank as it expands into the US market.

Cons

Too many layers of ineffective middle management, aggressive sales driven culture that does not have the customers best interest in mind. Constantly changing bonus structure to make it less attainable. Employees are constantly lied to and not given the courtesy of a reply or even acknowledgement when grievances aired. A former co-worker applied for multiple open positions that he was qualified for and was left not knowing the status of his application despite his inquires, all because he wasn't in tight with management he stood no chance of ever advancing but instead of telling him one way or the other they just said nothing until he finally wised up to their game and found a much better paying jog elsewhere.
