Pros

Job security (for branch employees), excellent resume item.

Cons

Exhaustive hours, unrealistic goals, berating for things out of employee's control, nepotism, lack of confidentiality when giving feedback, no support/safety from management or the company w/ hostile customers, rewards to customers for bad and abusive behavior, threats to your employment when "negative" things are talked about or you want to give feedback, excessive micromanagement, expectation to compromise ethic for the sake of making a sale, branch managers lie to staff to serve their interests (time off policies, goals, ethics & practices, scheduling, etc).

Pros

They used to pay good quarterly bonuses, not so much starting in 2014 though with the change to P&L structure.

Cons

You trip over all of the processes and have no time to truly coach your staff the right way. Universal platform now which means no Teller Manager and no help on compliance side you either sink or swim. Upper management is on a firing spree be very wary before going there!
