Pros

It is a great work environment to be around. Everyone has a great attitude for the most part. In the many years I've worked there, I've never woken up and dreaded going up to work. Yes, some days are taxing, but it's well worth it to work with a bunch of people whom you consider to be family. Even when I first started out working there I never felt like I was going to be looked down upon for asking a question about something or advice on making a decision.

Cons

At times a branch can be short handed, which leads to having to work a lot of hours, sometimes seven days a week.
