Pros

It is good for those that do not know anything about banking as the bank does not require prior banking experience.

Cons

All positions are sales oriented under high pressure. Very high turnover of about 60% with no stability to build a good name, high customer disatisfaction, low morale and low pay.

Pros

Not your typical benefits. There is a pension and the benefits are decent. Good environment for a cut throat salesman. Decent pay to start.

Cons

Micro management is out of control. Daily phone calls that accomplish nothing. E-mail sent out every time an account is sold is a waste of time. Morale is low mostly due to a bank wide feeling of paranoia about getting fired. Long time veterans have been axed because of teller accuracy. Anyone paying attention knows it's because of low sales. Fees to customers feel like a kick them while they are down situation. Used to be a sales focus maybe once a month. Now there are two sales focuses in one week.
