Pros

-BOKF employees are generally very nice and willing to grab a coffee or lunch to talk about their particular LOB. -The company is very stable and rarely fires people.

Cons

-The bank is conservative in many ways, but most notably in its WFH policy (or lack thereof). -Pay is well below industry standard, and there are no perks/benefits to make up for this pay differential -There are not many learning or development opportunities for younger employees -Growth opportunities are very limited. You essentially have to wait until someone retires to be promoted, as new positions (especially if you work in a group that is considered a cost center) are rarely created. -BOK has very little brand recognition outside of Oklahoma

Pros

I honestly can’t say there are any pros.

Cons

Micromanaged. Disorganized. Windowless room. Not worth staying long term.
