Pros

Good benefits for 401 comp match, vacation time and additional vacation week purchase, good sick pay hours, good disability coverage, good maternity coverage. They are remote right now so in that aspect they care about safety of employees.

Cons

They do not pay enough for the job they expect. They change the title of your job to fit the pay they want to give, so that they can " claim " we are paid well within the area for a representative but that's not the job we do it is way more. Pile on the work, no solid tools to do the job they expect for the volumes. They claim to care about your health and wellness and give superficial class offerings, but the work volumes and demands are so high there is not enough time in the day to get it all done. Not to mention newer employees get bumps up due to get to the position requirements for pay per NYS, but the loyal employees over that bump with the skills get nothing extra. Company is making money no bonuses for all that are below high level mgr.

Pros

There is real opportunity for career and skill growth. The company runs short on head count, so people willing to take on more responsibilities have avenues to progress. However, you will need to force the issue for promotions & large salary increases after you prove your capabilities. Realistically it'll take an external counteroffer to move the needle.

Cons

It's a large bank and you're a number in the system. If your NPV is positive you'll stay, else you'll be laid off. This includes both scenarios you control and those you don't. Ex. You control your performance, in office time and networking You don't control if your location is a strategic growth site, if a major client goes with a competitor, or if you'd be impacted by a general company-wide layoff plan.
