Pros

Senior staff took mentoring seriously and made an effort for me to take on more responsibility over time. I was in the JPA program, which meant that I had an opportunity to be on staff, although only for the limited 2 year period, which provided a chance to build strong relationships.

Cons

Low salary for junior staff, and inability to remain in the organization after the 2 year contract has finished. The program was first designed for undergrads, but most JPAs that were there at the same time as me had master's degrees. The requirement to leave for two years no longer makes as much sense as it once did.

Pros

Salary & benefits are better than for comparable jobs in the private sector

Cons

The environment is regulated with lot's of politics involved... Brain drain, hard to keep out with skills that are needed on the outside, the bank tends to "suck you in" and then you become specialized in a specific field which might not be easily transferable to the outside.
