Pros
The pros here aren't many. Good amount of vacation, and decent benefits.
Cons
There are probably too many to list here. You will be micromanaged daily. They go as far as having managers plan your days down to the hour. The regionals and upper management are completely out of touch with the branches. The goals increase quarterly and become more outlandish. The culture is changing from doing what's right for customer to doing what's right for the bottom line. The incentive plan is moving to a profit and loss based system and regionals are pushing service fees as profit. Regionals are also pushing for branches to fake accounts and credit cards. They hardly ever promote from within, but will hire gas station cashiers or lingerie store cashiers as managers at a higher pay rate than those promoted. Many of the managers are under trained and are being trained by their employees. Be prepared to work for the company for years and then have to train and babysit your boss on a daily basis. Very high turnover rate not just for bankers but also for branch and regional managers. The branches are always short staffed and the current bankers are expected to increase their sales production to make up for shortages. The hours for in store bankers are terrible.
