Pros

Friendly co-workers, vacation time is decent.

Cons

Limited opportunities, micro-management, office politics. Branch manager has too much power. They can promote anyone they like personally not based on performance or numbers. Pay is always lower than industry average. If you want to apply jobs internally, always need to stay long enough at current position otherwise need to get BM's permission.
