Pros

Great place with a potential for career development, learning opportunities, enrichment, culture of excellence, very decent staff benefits that covers self and family. Creative banking products and a culture of creativity that puts us at the forefront in the market and aids with bringing customers to bank with us. Good place to learn and be exposed to new products and suite of investment tools as the bank seeks to equip bankers with a wide range of solutions that makes the customer engagement complete.

Cons

As with most bank roles, staffs are often left feeling undervalued and with the current culture and practice to bankers it makes staff feel that there is no much trust towards them as upper management actively seek out a manage from far practice which reduces everyone to a number that nurtures a habit of people pleasing which makes work in the long run, quite a hollow experience. Unfortunately a place where it seems that those who want to stay end up leaving and those that shouldn't stay are around with the bank.
