Pros

The company has very good benefits, competitive compensation, and stability.

Many people choose to retire here.

I was given regular promotions, though I did find it hard to find the 'next step' when wanting to make a career jump to management. My first manager there was great, but when he left, my department went downhill.

So, it really depends on the department/management whether you will have a good or bad experience.

Cons

I was in technology, but the main business is banking. Therefore, it was not so cutting-edge for a technology professional. Due to this, the dot-commers were making much more money, but we had job stability, which was a tradeoff. In addition, many of your employees were not the brightest or 'A' gamers. Mediocrity ruled the roost there, which is good because then it was relatively easy to be a star.

Advice to Management

strive to make it not just a place to retire, but to thrive and be more progressive.
