Pros

Provide one of the best career paths for those who are willing to work the uneven schedules and over achieve goals, people are wonderful to work with and the working environment is second to none. This is a very tight knit group where people are treated with respect and everyone is always willing to help even if it isn't "part of their job". They have great benefits.

Cons

Cold calling prospective customers is the worst part of this job, the banking industry has become very desperate for revenue and competition is heating up among other major banking establishments that working for a bank in this day and age you will need to be an excellent sales person and push products on people and call people to set appointments with you on a daily basis. Even still, making sales doesn't guarantee a commission and often bankers struggle to reach the plateau where they are able to make a small quarterly bonus. If you thrive on high volume sales and cold calling this is the job for you.

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!
