Pros

Above average pay in comparison to its peer groups Good work-life balance, additional attractive benefits Easy job to learn and master Good location, all types of transportation are available Incentive based pat scheme

Cons

A lot of repetitive call types, becomes boring and uneventful Management is very micro-managed, treat employees literally like children that need to be monitored consistently All the effort it takes to generate sales, revenues for the bank, little reward in return( bonuses) Difficult to advance within, unless you know someone in a higher grade level position, in which you may be referred

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
