Pros

Great 401k, nice co-workers, decent benefit package. Not open on the weekends.

Cons

Extremely low pay. Advancement in company is rare and usually in title alone, not with pay compensation that is worth the added responsibilities. You are expected to wear many hats, but are not compensated for any of it. Very high turnover rate at the branch level.

Pros

Good ethical, strong bank that is growing in an industry that could be described as "shaky" or "recovering" at best. If you show the initiative, they'll give you extra work to keep you busy.

Cons

They are frugal with a strong focus on being cost-efficient which prevents them from being on the cutting edge in regards to technology/systems.
