Pros

Compensation may look slightly higher than other banks at first, but it quickly feels like a trade-off

Cons

Compensation may look slightly higher than other banks at first, but it quickly feels like a trade-off—you’re pushed into long hours with little recognition and almost no meaningful pay growth. The environment can be intensely political, where who you align with often matters more than how you perform, and decisions frequently feel driven by short-term optics rather than any real investment in people. Overall, it can come across as a high-pressure, low-reward workplace where morale takes a hit and long-term stability feels uncertain.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
