Not Sales Driven!

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of great clients to work with. You are capable of building great relationships. Not a very sales driven bank. They often look from within to promote as opposed to hiring externally. Bonus structure is easy to understand.

Cons

Pay could be better. Every position seems to have a large work load. You end up doing more work than may be listed in your job description. Bonus period is only twice yearly.
