Pros

They paid more on the hour than my previous employer.

Cons

Horrible management and if they don't like you then they will try to get you fired even if they have to make something up on no evidence. All of this being done of course during your probationary period.

Pros

The starting salary was fair. Employees are pretty sedentary, not a lot of moving is required -- if that is a pro.

Cons

I worked in Collections. With over 300 employees in my location -- and most of them female, workplace bullying was a HUGE issue and management did not care. BB&T does NOT respect diversity. Comments were constantly being made against homosexuals. During my training a woman from HR came and spoke with us, stating that our location has had problems with that kind of thing before and it would not be tolerated. BB&T also claims to have whistleblower protection but that means nothing! I was treated very badly by management after reporting hugely offensive comments that were allowed to be made and joked about. This is a competitive, female-dominated workplace and its extremely hostile -- not worth the salary whatsoever! Collections is also based in Lumberton, NC so that has a lot to do with the environment. I had 3 bosses, each more pretentious & unprofessional than the last. I ended up quitting. The supervisors are callous, bloated and the entire workplace is a huge joke. My time is worth more.

Pros

A few good things about BB&T are: - decent benefits - some flexibility depending on who you report to - one of the few companies that offer 401k and Pension benefits

Cons

- extremely political - no room to climb up the corporate ladder - false implications around employee morale - expects you to give 200% but will not reward you appropriately - retention is low - consistently using the economy as a hurdle, however, the overall company is doing extremely well in the financial industry - no reward and recognition for most
