Pros

Great way to get into banking if that is what you are looking for. It is the one bank that seems to hire people with little to no financial experience or background.

Cons

Instead of firing dead weight, they promote them to management. Try to keep their top performers at the retail level rather than helping them get to where they should be in financial management (I was personally held back from taking my CSC to become a Financial Advisor - which was my goal all along - because I was performing so well at the retail level). Harassment of customers by outbound calling. Terrible compensation when you overachieve your goals with little to no recognition.

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.
