Pros

Pay was decent, people you work with are great

Cons

Management is severely lacking. No direction or support unless your part of the clique. No room for promotion unless someone leaves.

Pros

Banker Hours and Paid Vacation

Cons

I witnessed management boldly ask employees to break regs to boost numbers, and break labor laws.

Pros

Benefits are good and that's it.

Cons

You do a lot of tasks that normally you wouldn't at another financial institution and get paid basically minimum wage to do tasks that are designed for a different position and above your title. Poor communication. Poor training, your training is you make a mistake and get yelled at for it. People within the company talk poorly about each other and creates a hostile or stressful atmosphere.

Thanks for your advice, we work hard to try to strike the balance of opportunities/challenges and keeping the work simple and understandable. I am sorry you found it frustrating and overwhelming. You are spot on in terms of training and we are working to change that. We wish you all the best in your future.
