Hard work pays off!

Pros

I like working for a company that values hard work and dedication. The benefits are some of the best in the market. The 401K is a major bonus. The company is very generous in profit sharing. I've made money moves in the past and while the immediate benefit was great, it didn't last (neither did the financial institution). Senior Managment leads by example. Great company to work and grow with.

Cons

The bonus compensation should be more closely tied to the profitability of each individual cost center. While the current program aims at keeping every employee working towards the same goal, there should be added incentives for branches/departments that hit more targets (efficiency ratios, etc.).

Pros

The 401k is amazing and the leadership is just as good. I have the most sales driven position in the company and they don't make it stressful in the least. If your driven at all, you want to be successful and bring in the results no matter where you are. The bonus structure is a team bonus structure so it truly enforces the working together mentality. My direct boss is one of the best you can work with which is probably true for most of our top executives.

Cons

The individuals that complain about the salary yet fail to realize how mellow their job is. Sure you can go out and find a job that pays more but have fun work insane amounts of hours and being micro managed every second... No thanks
