Pros

-Excellent Benefits -Reasonable Pay, though incremental raises are all that should be expected -Extremely Stable -Plenty of Holidays

Cons

-Job progression is difficult and slow -Recent influx of over-qualified candidates (Graduate/Medical/Law degrees) applying for relatively entry-level positions -Career Path is uncertain -Low expectations for employees -Negative work environment in some departments and branches (overbearing managers, long time employees that are cynical) -Poor work ethic is not corrected, partly because of paperwork and legal hoops, but generally little effort is made to address underachievers, placing greater stress on other employees

Pros

Quality benefits. Annual banks of sick, vacation, personal, and birthday leave are plentiful.

Cons

Dysfunctional high level management. I had fine experiences in day to day operations but the rift between branch staff and administrative staff is vast.
