Pros
Opportunities to move up quickly into middle management Large company - opportunity to work in a variety of teams and lines of business
Kontras
Lack of desire for change and improvement Constant changes in org structures causes distruption Poor work/life balance Highly political environment - leaders are "self serving" rather than on doing the what is right for clients A lot of outsourcing of technology and HR functions overseas - risk to job security Extremely Aggressive targets in the sales force (branch and call centre Managers blame their subordinates for errors rather than take responsibility - you really have to be careful to "CYA", however lack of trust also leads to poor relationships and partnership across lines of business Very few women in executive positions
