...you want to be a banker, than SBI is better than it's other peers, PSUs and pvt. banks in terms of salary and allowances.

Dislikes

No work life balance of Officers Lot of Ego clash with seniors and posts having authority in LHO Or AO. Using frequent transfers to difficult postings as a weapon against the employee by the controllers. Officers life are degrading day by day so much that clericals don't even want to get promoted even if they are completely eligible as well as capable to become officer.

Their cryptic incentive and salary hike policy, there is no clarity, you keep on working but unaware of the rewards and your seniors are not available for answering to your concerns.

...ly banker to every Indian. One gain experience in handling all kind of customer. Good Salary package compared to any other banking and financial institutions. Respect and status is incomparable. Tough but worth for career oriented candidates.

Dislikes

Challenges before a women employee and men is not the same in our society. Not every family support working women. To spread their wings and fulfill their dreams they faces many many hurdles. We cannot have rigid and common transfer policy for everyone. I have seen many women employee resigning due to this reason including me. Having work life balance is difficult for officer particularly.
