Pros
Opportunity to really help people in difficult financial situations
Cons
Weekly numbers, quarterly numbers. If you're not where they want you to be then it doesn't matter. And of course every quarter you start back at zero. They constantly add changes that prevent you from earning "Profitable Equivalent" then your performance is judged based on PE scores which also determine if you get a bonus, and you are competing with associates across your entire market. If you work in an low income or poor credit community then you do your best to help the client grow financially and build positive credit. While branches in high income communities with 700+ credit score milk the walk in traffic. Upper management however will tell you that you don't put in enough effort because you didn't get your lending number or PE goal and actively encourage you to find the door if your "not in the right role" because you didn't mean some arbitrary number. Thanks for the $0.25-$0.50 a year raise
