Pros

Great for entry-level or those with irrelevant prior experience. Highly motivated individuals will find it exceedingly easy to succeed and stand out in a company where everyone strives to hit minimum work expectations (This is only a pro if you are a highly motivated individual).

Cons

Minimizing payroll expense is BNY Mellons greatest achievement. Great for the bottom line this year, but what will happen when all of the quality employees are hired on by the competition or move to other jobs? Recruiting and retaining the cheapest employees on Earth cannot be a sustainable strategy.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
