Pros

Compensation is decent with many branches to transfer if closer to home.

Cons

Fifth Third creates a hostile environment in the branches. Points are harder to get, year after year. It becomes a hostile competition among coworkers, and a fight for points. Tellers are salespeople. They are expected to sell, and most of the time seal the deal. They do exactly what the personal bankers do, minus the pay and actually inputting it into the system. Branch Managers are very competitive, and will do whatever it takes to be number one (even if it means throw you under a bus) Too much paperwork and meetings about how you're going to do something. Its all about numbers! If you want a promotion, you better be PERFECT and EXCEEDING in sales goals, and customer service scores. The hiring process takes entirely too long. The only thing that is good about working for Fifth Third, is the pay. So if you can handle all the bad (sell your soul) for the pay, you will love it. Otherwise, it will make you hate banking altogether.

Pros

One of the best places to work around the gallop employee engagement survey time. Great team members and great co-workers.

Cons

Leadership; They are still stuck in the old ways in Western Michigan Affiliate. Currently we check in twice a day to report checking production. Our CEO comes out with a message of our vision and we refuse to listen; we just are forced to product push. Market managers are puppets of retail exec, regionals are puppets of Market managers and then branch managers are puppets of the regional. If you want to feel like you are garbage and that you are good at nothing apply here. To give a little information about me I am an over performer who has a performance management rating of exceeds goals the last two years.

Pros

Benefits are great and their motto seems great on paper and in theory! Have not worked there that long and I am new to the industry, so I do not really know what is really fair for salary.

Cons

There is too much arguing at this particular branch! There are employees that argue about who is boss and has attitude problems not addressed.
