Pros: Work-Life Balance. Great place for women. Learning opportunities.

Cons: Pay could be better. Not that great on internal mobility.

Pros: Good benefits, good people to work with. Dynamic, use new technology. Lots of chance for internal movement.

Cons: Once you join, it's very, very hard to get a raise, not even with inflation. Six years on the same salary is not good.

Pros: Job security, good tuition reimbursement ($5,250), and health insurance are free under $50k a year (for an individual).

Cons: No path for advancement (it's who you know). They only offer a 5% 401K match, while other banks offer a 6% match. Bonuses are a joke unless you are a Band 3 or 4, and again, it's who you know. Other banks offer bonuses from 8% to even 25% (yes, Wells does that!), while BofA offers a 1% bonus if you're a Band 6. The most I'd ever received (with an 'exceeds' rating) was $8k. The more you make, the more you pay for your health insurance. You end up paying more almost every year (they did stay flat for a while) if you're over $70k in salary. Cost of living increases get passed on to you, and there goes your 2% raise if you're lucky to get it.
