Branch Banking: High expectations, low resources
Pros
The only pro to working for Huntington is that they have competitive pay compared to other banks. They reimburse you for classes / certifications if you sign up for those too.
Cons
Where do I begin? Let me start by saying I’ve worked a variety of sales jobs with sales goals, including competitor banks for many years. Huntington takes “sales goal” to a whole nother level. I wasn’t even one month in on the job before I was getting yelled at for not offering a credit card to a customer who was in the middle of filing bankruptcy. Managers are ruthless, there is absolutely no room for excuses. Sell. Sell. Sell. Service comes second. Every day at work, it’s completely normal for your email to be filled with emails from branch manager, community manager, area manager, district manager, berating your branch for being down on sales. They don’t train well AT. ALL. They throw you in the deep end and scream at you for drowning. So glad I don’t work for this company anymore. Also, they are very quick to fire people. My ENTIRE branch was fired prior to me getting hired. When I started, every single person was new. Even my branch manager and assistant branch manager, my fellow banker, and my tellers.
