Pros
-It's a larger bank which will look good on your resume, right? -Decent benefits package -Opportunity to purchase extra vacation time if your manager approves
Cons
-Politics rule promotions, if your regional doesn't care for you (even if your manager is on your side) good luck. -Salary is low for platform staff, especially if you are a PB who becomes licensed you will get no bump in your base while people are hired in from the outside at 45K or higher. -You will be forced to focus on everything you will not be able to just focus on investments as a Licensed "i" designated banker, you will have to chase checking/savings/CC's regardless of what revenue you are generating off of insurance/investments. -The comp plan for all retail lines has declined steadily every year, eventually they will not offer one. -Your monthly point goal may go down but they will adjust point values per product to compensate for that making it no different than it was before they made the change. -You will be micro-managed no matter how good of an employee you are, and you cannot focus on your strength (investments and bank products not just one).
