Pros

Company reputation. If you are willing to move, great career opportunities for those willing to work extremely hard and smart.

Cons

Overall it is a good place to work. In my case I have two managers for whom the word is a misnomer. I see other areas where employees are working well together and where common sense and respect rule. In my area one manager plays favorites while the other manager is not capable of adjusting to the fact that four or five of those who report to this manager are more capable.

Pros

BB&T has been a well run regional bank for many years. Training is top notch and many start at BB&T for the training before moving elsewhere. There is a large banking network for support. For lenders, the loan approval and processing process is very good.

Cons

Salaries lag competitors. Also, given its regional approach to banking, headquarter's impression of what's going on in the field is often not accurate. Many of the regions consist of mostly bankers from a previous acquisition. In many cases, they hold onto their previous notions of how banking is done and have a us versus the bank mentality. Fees for routine services are usually higher than competitors making it difficult on account officers to defend. Finally, the bank's matrix system for bonuses is flawed. I know of far too many employees that have gamed the system for maximum bonuses. It creates cutthroat competition amongst employees for credit on sales and does not foster teamwork. I've also seen 10's of millions in risky loans made for the purpose of getting a large bonus.
