Pros

Some limited opportunities for travel, some nice people working there

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy that stops you doing your job, long hours and poor salary benefits…once you start, don’t expect much of a pay increase year after year. This is driven by the companies obsession to cut costs to meet ROTE targets.
