Vantaggi
Ability for younger employees to interact with higher executives for better recognition. Great leadership program for new grads. Exciting new opportunities to move over seas due to the recent acquisition by RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland). Ability to work in new comities to help first hand with new products and innovations. Friendly managers, vice presidents and coworkers. People within the Marketing department are easy to work with, and helpful for the most part. Competitive salary with good benefits. Good opportunities to grow, and move up into a VP position. New train station with many new lunch choices opening up right next door.
Svantaggi
Very stuffy and corporate at times. Lack or training tends to create a steep learning curve. Transitioning to a new reporting system without enough training or direction. Sometimes very long hours, working past 7 and on weekends. Resources stretched do to current economic issues. Raises are not always just, and additional compensation or recognition is not always given. Due to the changing environment (with the recent acquisition by RBS) many holes in employment, which causes problems to go unresolved, or added work load. Changed managers many times due to people leaving or moving around the company. Job security may be a problems. The office facilities were a bit run-down (but they will be moving to a new building soon)
