Pros

Work life balance is excellent Sales goals are fairly reasonable time off is good If you are someone who is looking for a job and go home it may be for you.

Cons

Benefits continually getting worse Never promotes from within If you get promoted, you will get paid far less for the same position as someone coming from outside the bank Does not care about keeping its best employees, very high turnover
