Business outlook
Pros
-Excellent Benefits -Reasonable Pay, though incremental raises are all that should be expected -Extremely Stable -Plenty of Holidays
Cons
-Job progression is difficult and slow -Recent influx of over-qualified candidates (Graduate/Medical/Law degrees) applying for relatively entry-level positions -Career Path is uncertain -Low expectations for employees -Negative work environment in some departments and branches (overbearing managers, long time employees that are cynical) -Poor work ethic is not corrected, partly because of paperwork and legal hoops, but generally little effort is made to address underachievers, placing greater stress on other employees
