Pros

When I first started the job was all you could want and more.

Cons

Not now. There is so much pressure to SELL SELL SELL. Let's face it. The economy has people thinking twice about that. And the benefits package was a great deal until the insurance options were whittled down and the cost kept going up. And we used to have our schedules done by a human being. You worked the same hours over a two week period. Now the schedules are made according to a computer program that tracks the individual branch's business. You work when the computer says you need to. And that makes for a schedule that is nothing short of a nightmare.

Pros

Initial training is very good. The base pay is O.K. for the position. Cluster/Area management is accessible There are opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Workload is heavy in reference to the amount of time given to complete assignments. Discouraged from working overtime to complete impossible workload. Sales goals are unreasonable because they are not only based on new accounts and referrals, but also take into consideration the balances clients maintain. Promotions seem to be on a who-you-know basis. Management will regularly promote/demote employees depending on the numbers they want to meet. Employees are pieces on a chessboard. Operations are constantly changing and they typically hinder the sales process. Ongoing training is very self-directed. But there is little to no time to complete it.
