Pros

You don't have to work nights or Sundays. You get a bonus every quarter as long as you make sales goals.

Cons

The pay and small quarterly bonus is not worth the stress of the high sales goals. The managers are constantly breathing down your neck to find (or make up) sales for customers even when nothing is needed. Even after you finally meet your sales goals for the quarter, you are still constantly lectured to get more and more or you are just not good enough. Plus every month you get these tedious and time consuming assignments that you must complete while trying to deal with customers in the meantime. Honestly, if I didn't have to worry about the stressful sales, and just worry about customer service, it wouldn't be a bad job. When I go to the bank, I don't want to be asked about getting a savings account or if I have insurance every single time. I just want to do my transaction and get out. Advice to Senior Management

Somewhat frustrating and highly political.

Pros

The Benefits are good in terms of vacation and medical. Vacation if you are AVP or higher. There are some good people but they don't always stay too long.

Cons

Terrible leaders and sub leaders. Most of the leadership is based on friendships and not qualifications. Most managers care about there money and position and not really about been good managers or following good practices. You are place in box and management try to run with lowest underpaid staff possible therefore no matter how qualified you are they will and can't really move you. Keep in mind HR's purpose is to protect the management and usually of no use in any other area other than offering information on your benefits. This may not be true for all management but reflect my experience with my area and with friends from other areas. You can advance if you Brown Nose with Management and sell out a few of your co-workers.
