      Great People, Great Company

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Feel like I'm part of a team with a shared vision for our division's success.

      Cons

      The base-pay is quite low which makes it difficult to attract talented employees. I've seen many talented employees go to other financial institutions as soon as they had a grasp of banking concepts. I'm personally hoping that my loyalty will pay off in the longer term in the form of a salary that is commensurate with my experience/work ethic/attitude and that is comparable with the competition (really, really hoping...)

      Slow moving, lack of opportunity

      Branch employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - No weekend hours - 40 hours guaranteed - Competitive 401(k) match - Friendly co-workers (mostly)

      Cons

      - Lack of training in all positions - All branch positions are reviewed as CSR/tellers in addition to the jobs they are hired to do - Lack of opportunity for non-entry level positions in a branch - Ineffective upper management - LOW pay. Many employees have been there forever (or are part of mergers) and are content doing everything the hard way. Prepare to have more work dumped on you as your reward for hard work, even jobs that have nothing to do with your title. No efficiency at the top which trickles down to the branches.
