Pros

- Hours were not very demanding.

Cons

- Extremely bureaucratic- There's a ton of red tape for even the simplest of tasks. - Hierarchical- Managers will rarely disagree with anyone above them. - Boring- Let's face it, custodial banking is incredibly boring. There's also a plethora of business buzzwords constantly used and an incredible amount of incompetency throughout the AVP and VP levels.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.
