Pros

25 days PTO from day one, benefits, great company to get experience (but then move to a bigger company after a few years), co-workers are ok

Cons

Horrible pay, no job security, HR recruiters are horrible (never return e-mails or phone calls), Corp politics, some management have bad people skills, majority of employees have no drive (they stay in the same position for 10 to 20 years), known to not give raises (haven't had one since 2008 and it was only 3%), only way to receive a nice pay increase is to move from dept to dept

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
