Pros

Management is pretty laid back, they do not micro manage employees. Good vacation time and benefits for new employees which is appealing.

Cons

The only thing negative about BNY Mellon is employees are paided $10K less on average than people doing the same job at PNC Bank. In summary, good company, the pay is just terrible for a college graduate.

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.
