      Pros

      The company has good benefits and 401-k program with stock options. Good people to work with. Has many locations and hours.

      Cons

      Too many hoops to jump through. Cares more about the numbers than it does it’s customers. Some are not very friendly to customers.

      While this isn't the worst place to work, it definitely isn't the best.

      Pros

      You got the holidays off and paid The coworkers are friendly The hours are overall pretty nice Overall friendly environment

      Cons

      The pay is definitely on the lower end for this line of work. Also when you interview they will tell you that you don't do cold calls, but you will quickly find that this is not true. Cold calls are actually required of you. They try to spin it off by saying that you are only contacting people about products which would benefit them but this is only sometimes the case. You have specific sales goals for things like new checking accounts and loans, so you will often find yourself calling on things like loans which people don't need. First merchants obviously doesn't have a good grasp on what a cold call is.
