Pros

Amazing educational opportunities, mentorship program, subsidized food on campus, get paid to get financial licenses, and an excellent benefits package.

Cons

Very egalitarian culture- they do not embrace innovation, and you must go through many many channels to make progress (aka, email 3 people to get approval before you change an entry on an excel spreadsheet)... Some departments are wonderful (like the Sales and Marketing Retail group) but others are a bit depressing and behind the times (more on the Institutional side)... And the dress code is way too strict considering the chance of seeing a client is slim to none.
