      Pros

      better work/life balance, colaborative environment

      Cons

      The managers used to know about the business are all gone. The new managers are very good at bluffing and taking other people's work for credit, but know nothing about the business.

      Big, broad, bureaucracy

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large enough to have areas of interest for any employee, sitting on large excess capital base so the bank will never fail, if you can make your boss look good, you will do well.

      Cons

      Not an innovator, late to any trends in the markets, then pay top dollar for asset acquisitions, leading to inevitable failure. Regularly cited by regulatory agencies for unethical violations, senior management came from Merrill Lynch, and continue to have that old Wall St mentality of pushing high cost, high margin products across the board. Despite this, the bank fails to grow (+2% yoy top line growth) forcing regular headcount reductions to grow bottom line.
