Pros

The people in my branch were awesome!

Cons

Everything else about the company was terrible. Daily conference calls that were nothing but a regional manager yelling at everyone for not opening multiple bullspit checking accounts each and everyday. They cared more about opening a $1 balance checking account than actually helping a customer with anything!

Pros

Great hours and benefits. Well advertised. Competitive product lines make for confidence in sales.

Cons

Get ready to be a telemarketer. That is what you will do 80% of the time. Selling with a gun at your head. Pressure to hit sales quotas results in unethical behavior amongst colleagues, and inappropriate placement of products. Quotas are unrealistic, so you wont make any extra bonus. Job threats continuously. Most stressed group of people i have ever met.

Pros

Good hours and benefits. A decent amount of time off

Cons

Management spends most of their time selling, rather than actually managing. They set really high baselines, to avoid paying bonuses.
