    After all the challenges I have encountered as a bank employee, I have made myself be a part of the company's administration.
    The good thingsThe intention of the company to make their employees well-trained and well-developed through lots of trainings and seminars conducted yearly. The branches / offices are something you can be proud of to your clients and possible customers. The personnels' salaries and benefits are worthy to mention.
    The challengesThe rotation of the employees from one branch to another branch. This is where the employee may be assigned to another branch temporarily. It will be unfortunate enough if you will be assigned to a far away branch where you cannot go home and cannot see your family for several days, weeks or months.

    Great company if you're planning for retirement/ long-term employment
    The good thingsPNB provides excellent benefits package for officers of any rank/ position. For a traditional Bank, PNB's quite good in keeping up with fast-changing environment and provides for alternative work arrangements, mental health counselling and webinars, learning and development programs, and various employee awards and recognitions. The Bank also allows flexible transfer to other units so you can change into your target career paths should you want to explore.
    The challengesLack of manpower makes the workload heavier than usual. Onsite facilities aren't that great considering ergonomic offices is in the new. Career progression is slow for support units.

    Great co-workers and environment but needs more ferocity and willingness to take risks.
    The good thingsEmployer created a culture around work that made going to the office something enjoyable. My boss was easy to approach and communicate with. I always felt that my boss had my back even if it placed him/her at wits with other heads.
    The challengesI always felt like we were lagging behind the competition. It was always a game of catching up rather than trying to win.
