Not what you would expect.
Pros: Reputable name and people outside of banking seem to hold it to high esteem because it's the biggest bank.
Cons: Disorganization - Everything changes every week and managers lack serious competency; you cannot seek their expertise (b/c they lack any).  Loyalty/Compensation- Management will try to low-ball individuals over their salary and have employees perform management functions without any extra pay.  Additionally, the pay is below the industry average.  Location- Newark and Wilmington, DE are less than desirable and living in a major metropolitan city (i.e., Philadelphia) is unrealistic now that the 495 is shut down.  Talent pool- very weak in the DE market and new employees are getting paid higher wages b/c of this, causing discontent among the workers who have been their longer and possess a higher skill-set.  Worker morale- Management presses for unrealistic numbers and there are rumors of/actual layoffs every month or two.
