Pros

Supportive branch managers Fun coworkers Depending on the branch, you can have some flexibility with your work hours. It can be a good job to have when you're in school, if you have children, or if you have a second job.

Cons

Outdated technology and banking features were frustrating to use - oftentimes affected level of customer service. Upper upper management was also dated in their approach to banking and what the younger customer base is expecting. Low pay compared to other banks.

Pros

My co-workers are nice, as is my new manager. I receive a paycheck.

Cons

Antiquated systems & extremely manual processes.. Good luck getting access to the systems you need to do your job. Communication across the entire organization is extremely poor & they have zero sense of urgency. Nothing is documented. As a result, training was non-existent. There are serious divides between departments and/or individuals with influence in said departments. Customers suffer because not being able to work together has been tolerated for years or decades in some cases.
