Pros

paid well, ability to earn more for selling checking accounts, mostly friendly atmosphere, nice benefits package, flexible schedule, holiday hours

Cons

very stressful due to its sales pitching, need a lot of sales for checking accounts and uncomfortable situations during "aisle time" (for in store only. A time where you go throughout a store and ask random strangers about their personal finances and then ask them to open up an account). The managers I've worked with weren't very competent. must work weekends for in store

Pros

The company is struggling with the economic times and yet continues to try to build morale. Although many of the company team building events have been scaled back, there is still recognition for a job well done.

Cons

RBS has strong influence upon the activities of Citizens Financial Group. The company had operated with more autonomy in the 1990's.

Pros

The benefits and pay are really good at Charter One. In an environment where banks were not paying incentive compensation, Charter One delivered on its commitment very generously. Senior Management is really good and the people are great. There are a lot of opportunities for growth if you are willing to move within the country or to Europe.

Cons

The systems are not up-to-date. Thankfully, they are investing in new commercial loan system and branch systems would should enhance client and employee satisfaction.
