An insular company which does not practice its own stated corporate values
Pros
Extraco is a large enough bank that there is opportunity for career advancement if you are an entry-level employee. Extraco offers reasonably comprehensive benefits to its employees, and there are many generally good, caring people employed there.
Cons
Extraco has a corporate culture which results in a lack of concern for the well-being of its employees and its customers. With regard to both, making money trumps integrity and fairness. An arrogance fostered at the senior levels results in a culture where the opinions of employees are not valued unless they are parroting the company talking points. A dictatorial management style is practiced and encouraged by senior management, stifling any feedback or open dialogue about corporate weaknesses. The culture results in an atmosphere where trusting your co-workers becomes a risky gamble.
