Pros

Their pay for performance structure does reward the top performing employees. There are a lot of opportunities to post for other positions. Opportunity to advance if you are liked.

Cons

Coaching and on-the-job training are lacking Favoritism is apparent, especially in promotions Performance goals led to micro-managing, with monthly meetings about performance which can start to get redundant Lot of turnover in management which changes goals often

Pros

I think the best thing of working at HSBC is that you learn the basics of sales and have the opportunity to build an iteresting network. The employee benefits is quite good as the benefits have been increased and you can choose what you need.

Cons

Promotions are quite slow and the pace of the retail bank is such that there is little time for training, although a big effort is being made to change this. Also I think the basic salary (pensionable salary) is very low compared the competitors and people is not necessarily rewarded even if is evident you are making more efforts than most.
