Pros

Flexibility. Excellent 401k plan. Focus on customer excellence. Health benefits are good. Learned a lot about Mortgages and Home Equity Products.

Cons

Too much gossip and not enough focus on business. Senior Management doesn't have a clue on how to run a bank. Branches are short staff and it could take more than six months to fill a vacant position. The incentive program doesn't make any sense and if you make goal the payout is minimal. The scale is not balanced recognition only comes when you're friends with senior management. Didn't feel valued as an officer of the bank. Officer position but treated like a Senior Sales Associate.. Low pay.

Pros

Laid back (if given the right cast of co-workers) Lots of down time (can also be dreadful at times though depending if you like to be busy or not) No sales quota to be met like with other banks Flexible hours

Cons

Lack of professionalism by the corporate side Low pay No growth opportunities Office politics, lots of high school drama which does not make sense at all In general, it's a good starter if you're looking to get into the banking industry or finance but don't look to stay there for long. District managers and higher ups give you no help at all. You'll hear about drama from other branches which will eventually reach up to your branch and some how your business will reach out to others. Just very immature and very unprofessional. It all depends on which branch you end up in but for the majority of Brooklyn branches, they're all the same.
