Pros

The only reason anyone would work here or would want to work here is because of ESOP.

Cons

Where do I begin? Ok let’s start with management, this includes any VP, Director, Manager etc. they all claim to promote from within but they don’t. They always go outside instead of promoting from within instead of recognizing the internal employees that deserve it. There are way too many VP’s, Directors and Managers to begin with, seems like everyone that’s hired is one. If your not one of the “Favorites” from the management then you don’t get the same treatment and it’s very obvious who is and who isn’t. They sell FLEX time but that doesn’t apply to everyone and every department. If you need to talk to PST (HR) good luck trying to find anyone because they’re never in the office. Be careful who you tell things too in the office because some Co -Workers will stab you in the back the first chance they get to make themselves look good. Some people in Shawmut love to gossip.Bottom line is this, if your looking for a company that has growth, good management, pay and benefits then Shawmut is NOT the company for you.

Pros

There used to be a lot of pros but now you're just worked to death. It's all about the bottom line and not about the employees like it used to be. If you're a white male you're not cared for very well

Cons

Long hours. Lots of paperwork, You have to pay for your own trips home, In some places you work the per diem is next to nothing. Lots of companies offer the same or much better benefits. This used to be a great place to work but that ship has sailed.

Pros

I really don't have many pro's except for some of the projects were interesting.

Cons

Awful work environment coupled with terrible unsupportive management team, little to no training, and if you are not in the popular clique then you are even more on you own. The management team in NE are rude, and create an unprofessional and sometimes hostile environment. This was the worst experience of my entire career! I would suggest you look carefully at this company before you make a decision to work there.
