Fifth Third reviews

They use people, micro manage, set unrealistic goals, expect you to do multiple other people's jobs, they don't pay enough, and you only get ahead by "knowing" the right people. Turn over is huge and they wonder why. Treat employees better and reward people for actually helping customers not putting them in worse situations just to hit goals.

Working in banking can be a very stressful environment. You must be able to manage your book of business effectively during busy times of the year (during season). This can be hard to do with expectation set by the bank to follow up with every client you meet(sometimes 20 clients). On the flip side, when season is over you must be able to generate and create business. This is where most bankers fail, they rely too much on walk-in clients during season and don't follow up with them. You must build a book of business and manage it effectively in order to meet your goals during the slow times of the year. Some coworkers feel micromanaged by expectations and little things 5/3 requires us to do and track. I can see why they think this, but I know these requirements are established to help us succeed in the long term. Lastly, some managers are strict regarding scheduling: giving you less say in the hours you work. While other managers let you manage your hours as long as you stay at 40/week
