Pros

Still have some "old school" benefits such as a defined pension and non-expiring sick days. New CEO seems to be interested and engaged in changing work culture of old boy network.

Cons

Too many examples of the Peter Principal. People seem to be promoted on seniority instead of competency. Which makes it hard for them to support their direct reports. It is a Bank, and they are more interested in following procedure then actually getting things done. Management talks about wanting people to "own their work", but provide little or no support to actually allow you to "own your work"
