Employment status: current

Bogged down in politics and fear of new media channels and ignorance of the changing market dynamics.
Pros: Experienced professionals in the card industry
Great vacation time!
"Banking hours"
Great location, easy access to train or bus to NYC or DC.
Decent pay.
Good place to get a varied set of experiences in the industry.
Good health benefits.
Large budgets to work with.
Very "team" oriented approach to work, requiring buy in from lots of people (if you like that sort of thing)
Cons: Silo approach to product segmentation
Lots of politics, with constant battles for prioritization.
Excessive amounts of time spent managing up, managing emails, and managing meetings.
Meetings, meetings, meetings...
Old-fashioned management with major risk-aversion issues.
Lots of bureaucracy and VERY top-heavy org-chart.
