Pros

Being employed versus being jobless. The CEO is down to earth nice guy.

Cons

Toxic work environment, backbiting and gossiping. The company technology is from the Stone Age. Constant office politics and favorites. Pay is a joke compared to other banks. Word of caution do not work here you will regret it.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
