Pros

Recognized brand Many locations if lateral transfer desired Maintained company match on 401k plan Likely to be a survivor in banking consolidation

Cons

Starts and ends with sales goals which have little connection to market and economic conditions Systems and processes are not user-friendly and not conducive to quality customer service Extreme micromanaging due to excessive layers of managers of managers Incentive plans have little relationship to goals - can qualify for incentive of $0 or have everyone make incentive but miss branch goals. Upper mgmt incentive plans do not match customer-facing employee plans. Logs and forms for nearly everything. Spend unnecessary time trying to document what has already happened.

Pros

Great way to get tech experience. Exposure to a lot of tools, systems technologies and it's a fortune 50 company so very good to have for your resume. Benefits were good too. Great team working environment.

Cons

Not much growth. Pay could be better.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
