Pros

Very easy to get hired and get "management experience" to add to your resume - then you can get a job at a real bank. Only bank in town in which a G.E.D. is sufficient education to become a "Banking Center Manager."

Cons

55+ Hours per week expected by mgmt, "2nd Chance Checking" means "Last Chance Checking." You'll be dealing almost exclusively with people who cannot responsibly manage a bank account, chronically overdraw, then come in to threaten and berate you over their fees - which you're not allowed to refund. Constant efforts by customers to defraud the bank - you wager your job on every single check that you accept, and there is no built-in protection for employees.

Pros

When it was slow this was by far the easiest job ever you would get paid to do absolutely nothing but chat with customers and co-workers.

Cons

The pay was horrible with impossible bonuses to achieve. The work life balance is awful making you work 6 days a week most of the time. And the management team is very lacking they have there favorites and make sure that the others do all the work
