Pros

This bank is good for people looking to start in the financial services industry. Once you get some experience go and work for the other more professional banks

Cons

Career management is non existing. They do not reward or recognize talent. Most branch managers are extremely incompetent but have been there for decades, which exempts them from being efficient or even motivated.

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.
