Great place to work
Pros: Salary, benefits, and interesting work. Versus other jobs in the financial industry in the area - great opportunities for self motivated people.  Career advancement and other opportunities within the firm are readily available, once you get your foot in the door, it becomes much easier to move around, and some movement is in fact encouraged to build well rounded employees.
Cons: Large corporation, distance from NY offices where decision making is generally occurring.  With shifts in economy, generally a fairly decent sized purge of staff occurs every 3-5 years as new management changes the focues and priorities, and some areas are deemed less desireable.  Strong focus on cost cutting throughout the bank.
