Pros
Pension. Made great friends working in the branch.
Cons
Low pay. Under appreciated. Higher-ups do not care about the safety or well being of their employees. In bad weather they would rather risk the lives of their employees than have a branch close for the day, or have a two hour delay in a snow storm. Profit for the Senior VP's is all they care about. The underwriting job can be done from home, and we have the capability to work from home (laptops) but it is not allowed even when our lives are in danger during bad weather. You either take a personal/vacation day, or you risk your safety to get into work, and even then you will most likely risk getting in trouble for being late when it is a blizzard out. This is also a very slow progressing company. Many branches did not even have internet for their employees until 2010/2011... women were required to wear tights/stockings until the late 2010's... very slow evolving company in general.
