Pros
Stable employer, job security! Once you are in, you could stay there until you quit or retire
Cons
It is a very big organization so way too much red tape on everything! Management been working with the company for soo long almost impossible to go ahead in your area you must keep moving sideways to go upward.
Advice to Management
CommSec stop Micromanaging insignificant stuff and stop trying to live on the legacy. Try to stay relevant/competitive.
