      Not worth the headache

      Bsa analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good health insurance and free soda

      Cons

      The BSA team is undermanned and is constantly in a stat of chaos. The managers are good but they are constantly overruled and ignored by their leadership. The schedule for completing assignments is unreasonable and many people end up working up to 60 hours per week. Many of the experienced and certified analysts left for banks and other financial institutions where they're treated with respect.

      Low Performance Low Trust

      Branch manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Consistent hours, helping customers with a vary niche product (Custom Construction Loan).

      Cons

      Management, culture, technology, training, pay, benefits. The workplace and the DM I reported to displayed cynicism, paranoia and self-interest. The culture in the NO area was toxic because of the in-fighting, fragmentation and failure to develop relationships and show any measure of caring about the "employees." Extremely high turnover in people because of this culture. Beware.

      If you must....

      Customer service supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you love seeing new faces, this is a great career for you, because your co workers will be constantly changing, mainly due to better job opportunities, higher pay or general low moral. Don't expect much in the way of training, mainly because why train employees when turn over is over 70% (a number from HR). The largest pro is that you will have something to do from 8:30-5pm Monday through Friday just incase you were thinking to yourself, man what can I do for those long hours. The next best pro is that you will have access to a nice black and white copier/scanner, which is super convenient when job hunting. The final thing is that you will get to read nice glossy reports of the companies success record income followed by record income, while all the time staring at your own miserably pitiful pay check, which it is debatable whether the guy flipping burgers is making more than you or not.

      Cons

      Largest con is that there is no one at the helm, the corporate giant doesn't really care about you. What is the point of a great work life balance if you have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet? This is a great opportunity for people who are looking for a job while their bread winning spouse brings home the bacon.
