Pros

- Decent pay (they will pull you in with salary to accept the job) - Decent Benefits - Appear to be cordial for the first couple weeks

Cons

- DEAD END CAREER, if you're licensed: S7/63/LAH - Minimal/No career advancement opportunities - Nearly all the LRM's are miserable, but are simply forced to be in the role - The role is essentially a Financial Advisor Assistant..simply setting up appointments via begging clients to come speak with you - Micromanagement with lack of actual financial advice knowledge - No financial strategy tactics taught, just scripts read over and over - Daily, petty and completely immature office politics...similar to middle school immaturity - Very unprofessional branch management atmosphere - Lastly you will be forced to work on the teller line if it's busy, even if you're fully licensed

Pros

Flexibility is what sells this place as a great place to work. Hybrid schedule, great PTO, no guilt trips for needing time off for family matters.

Cons

Your experience will vary greatly based on your manager. One asset manager can freely call in or wfh without worry where another AM may be reprimanded for the same. The insurance department is completely inept. Borrowers are constantly threatening to sue because our insurance dept management sucks. Very little training across most departments. Some people work very very hard, others dont work at all, there doesnt seem to be much oversight there. When a manager tells their employee "dont expect to get promoted next year" with no guidance or encouragement, you pretty much kill all motivation for that employee to do better. They will hire people as senior staff and pay them way more than their seasoned employees make, and then tell their seasoned employees not to expect a senior promotion.
