Pros

Pay seems comparable to other banks; excellent benefits--6% 401K match; medical is nearly free if you're single and fit; pension is nice benefit if you plan to spend your career here; opportunity for stock options if you reach a certain level; expanding footprint, so more opportunities.

Cons

Constantly changing things up to please regulators, sometimes hard to keep up with the changes; technology is dated but improving; loan origination process is cumbersome.

Pros

good benefits and good hours.

Cons

I recently lost my job after more than 32 years with this company because of an unintentional error. 32 YEARS of loyal hard work, sweat and tears. They say their are no 'sales goals' but the company just rephrases the expectations. This is not the same company I worked for just 5 years ago. Associates are dropping like flies! I was a exemplary associate. I'm sadden by this. Feel like I'm getting a divorce after being dependable and loyal for many, many years. BB&T now expects nothing but perfection! 'non-negotiable' !!! The staff is expected to work with a very, very lean staff to reach unrealistic goals. Which creates disgruntled clients. Which means the tellers get the brunt of the client complaints of the long wait time. BB&T is about the bottom line instead of how the client might perceive their banking experience. Clients don't understand that with every banking transaction, the bank associate's job may be on the line. Something I took lightly which cost me my job. I remember a time in my 32 years, where my manager would fight for me. I was shown the door...'NON-NEGOTIABLE'!!
