Great job for first time Bankers. No banking experience? Learn here. Then move on to your real banking job.
Pros
⋅ Thorough trainings are offered right away with mileage AND time reimbursement. I had zero banking experience when I started and I've learned so much through the last three years. The classes are helpful and allow you to learn all of the boring regulations easily. ⋅ Benny's are great. You get full benefits right off and vacation time, 18 days, on the first calendar day of the year. In store branches observe traditional branch holiday hours as of 2015 as well! ⋅ The people are awesome. Chances are high that you will develop fast friends with your branches colleagues. Most are willing to help and guide you through challenges and to work with you as a team to help you succeed. ⋅ Branch managers are pretty good. The best people in my opinion are managers. The branch I work at is lead by someone who will stick by you and give constant honest feedback and is really fun to work with. Most importantly, he is realistic with his expectations of individual preformance.
Cons
Which leads me to here.... Corporate - this job is all about sales and unnecessary processes. They expect you to shove every product possible down someone's throat and still "have the customer be 100% satisfied with their experience" because we're making recommendations that "fit" the customers needs. The incentive program continues to be an ongoing joke. They actively seek out ways to disqualify a sale. Honestly, it's super easy to get burnt out of this job. I don't feel like I'm working on building my career, I feel like I'm trying to stay afloat and making sure I fight for every sale I can. I'm good at sales but I just don't care anymore. This company espects too much and even for phenomenal sales people, it's just not worth it.
