Retail Banking is dying

Pros

Company has an excellent core group of dedicated employees who know what is going on, have a sense of what it takes to really get the job done, and love what they do despite the challenges.

Cons

Shareholder pressures are lethal to the retail bank. This compression forces extreme measures by upper management that translate into unrealistic sales goals while cutting FTE. The results are shadow sales goals, and less than 1% of branch management making bonus. There are cliques that are hard to break into, and a lot of decisions are made without thinking of real world impact.

Pros

Decent salary, management has no idea what the staff is doing and does not care.

Cons

No clear direction, very "layered" management - not accessible and do not speak to their staff (don't have time and don't care). Very much a who you know environment, with dismal morale. Failure is the norm.
