Pros

The benefits package is pretty good however I'm sure it's nothing different than what other banks in the Chicago market offer.

Cons

This is a widget driven company which pretends to care about the client however the actions of regional and banking center managers is opposite of the company's core values. It's all about driving the widgets and not over all profitability or the true best interest of the client hence pressure to bundle 3 or more products to a single customer versus driving loans and investments which are more profitable for the company. Recruiters and Managers will lie through their teeth to pull you in from a competitor however once you get in and you start hitting/exceeding the goals they do not deliver on what was presented. Also the bonus/I-comp is a joke, it's been declining for the last 4 years and is now ULTRA horrible. Negotiate the highest base possible if you have to take a job here because the comp plan in unattainable.

Pros

Good work environment. Management can be good depending on your branch. Can make lots of close friends.

Cons

Very sales-focused. Does not matter if customer does not qualify for credit cards, loan, etc., you have to put the application in to meet quota. And the occasional rude customer.
