Pluspunten
great opportunity for professional advancement IF you are willing to relocate to Chicago, New York or over seas.
Minpunten
90% of people who work for HSBC Holdings in North America work under HFC/Beneficial. There is nothing wrong with either entity but it takes a strongly career minded, money driven individual to succeed and advance within the company. There is one career path: Account Executive -> Sr. Acct Executive -> ASM then BSM. From BSM, there aren't very many options if you have a family or aren't wiling to relocate. Branch Sales Managers are there Mon - Thurs from 8:00 or 8:30 to 7:00 or 8:00. There is little time for a life away from work but the pay is well worth it IF you have a good staff and you know how to utilize your people. The pay CAN be excellent but most of the time I believe it's easy to feel like you are not compensated for the energy required to run a branch... but then again, who doesn't feel that way sometimes?
