Pros

Chicago downtown location has a great environment, good people to work with. You'll get your share of experience here because there is a definite "sink or swim" culture here

Cons

I've been working there nearly 8 years and it seems as if every year or 2 there are DRASTIC changes within the company. When these changes occur, they don't seem to be very well though out. As usually it results in pure chaos, and employees under stress because due to the new procedures, certain areas of support are no longer available. It's almost like upper management gets some "great idea" and throws it off on middle management. Then regular employees are left to pick up the pieces. This makes things extremely difficult for clients & employees.

Pros

Decent benefits, reliable, friendly team but that’s branch specific

Cons

FIX YOUR STAFFING ISSUES!!! You all emphasize work life balance but have us working 6 days a week. If you don’t live in OH, your career opportunities are practically nonexistent. Also- close at 5 on Fridays like a normal bank.
