Cons
I personally believe CERTAIN individuals stereotype. This has been the first position I've ever been in; in my career that I do not feel welcome. I have never felt so alone. Everything is monitored. Even while in training if I ask for assistance with anything, that person will go tell someone else that I am asking for help. Then upper management in either training or retail banking will ask "you needed help with such and such? They never showed you where/how to do that? We need to make sure our management knows how to this and that. But I am only in training. Plus its never for anything major. It could be something is small as asking for a pencil...seriously. Any and everything I do, someone its compared to be a member of management, The smallest things they blow up but the good moments they do not speak on. I feel like they are looking for reason to say that I am not prepared or fit to be in management. They have never given me a fair opportunity. I feel like they treat me as if they are doing me a favor by employing me. They treat me like a child. I didn't have anyone reaching out to me. Not even my own management. I look much different than the other people who occupy the branches and are in other buildings. There is for sure a difference in treatment.
