Pros

As a global institution we can support our business and personal customers on an international basis which creates some job security and opens other career oppertunities.

Cons

Very high demands of employess, unrealistic expectations for sales goals. Sr management makes "number" decisions based on a goal they want to attain rather than improvements in existing numbers. There is a big disconnect between expectation and reality.

Pros

Good, smart colleagues in other offices.

Cons

At times, decisions appeared to prioritize individual objectives over team needs, which affected collaboration and morale. Greater consideration of team perspectives and shared goals would help build trust and engagement. I observed instances where expectations communicated to the team were not consistently reflected in leadership actions. Greater consistency between stated values and day-to-day decisions would strengthen credibility and confidence within the team.
