Pros

-The Name -Benefits -I met some great people through complaining about the position

Cons

-Extremely micro-managed in every aspect (managers are like hawks) -Lines and scripts make you feel less and less human every day -You are required to grab people before they make it to the teller line -You have an ugly uniform -Management is fueled by sales numbers and they make you feel as if you are a number -You have no voice when it comes to your opinions. You on the the bottom of the totem pole. Management will hear your ideas/struggles but they do not listen, understand, or take action. -You have to be drinking "the kool-aid" to be sort of successful. You have to drink what they serve you and put a happy face on at all times. Overall, if you are considering this position, only take it if you can work like a robot (without a brain.) You have to leave your personality and emotions at the door because no one likes them in the branch. By the end of my time there, I felt like I had lost myself because I was no longer using my brain; it felt like the movie Groundhog Day. Same people, same scenarios, same lines, and same clothes every single day. I am a recent college grad, and this was my first "real" job outside of school. If there is anybody else in this position, do not get sucked into this role. You do not apply or use anything you had worked for in college. Pursue other jobs and goals. P.S. If a banker approaches you in the lobby of the bank, do not sit down with him/her! They will try to sell you ridiculous things. Only sit down with them if you have a question or inquiry.

Pros

Strong presence and brand recognition - nationally known company. Nice that they pay you to study for your series licenses too. Good support and training in this respect.

Cons

This position is nothing more than a glorified Walmart greeter. They expect you to touch your elbow to your ear (do the impossible). They will ask you to pick up the phone book and randomly call people to beg them to come open an account! The promise you big money - total BS. You will not earn more than $35K to $40K for the first few years.

Pros

Great benefits for employees, as well as help to get yourself healthy by offering tools to quit smoking, and offering coaching for weight management, etc. They offer competitive pay, and have many advancement opportunities. They offer discounts on many things including wireless phone service, discounts on computers from Dell and Apple, and some discounts on banking products with Chase such as a free Premier Checking account.

Cons

You are working at a bank, which is one of the most hated industries at the moment. You will have a lot of people complain to you if you are on the retail side, even if you can't do anything about it. Management does not seem to care about lazy employees. I work with 3 other tellers. I have been with the company for 1.5 years now, and the other three have been tellers for 3, 7, and 8 months. Whenever we are not busy, they will all run and find a chair to sit in, away from their teller stations, leaving me the only available teller. I am part time, and by the end of the day, my stack of work is larger than the people who have been there all day after me working only 4 hours. They also do not care about policy and procedures, and do not take the time to read the available information about how to do most everything, leaving them coming to me or calling the manager (who also does not know how to process much stuff, but does know how to find it in policy and procedures, which at least doubles the time the customer has to wait.) My managers see this, but they do not do anything about it. They do not care. I do not receive any higher pay or anything for doing more work than them. There is no incentive for me to work hard when these people aren't. There is sometimes discrepancies in what we are told and what we are supposed to do. For example, in my Teller training class, we were told how to handle a certain situation, only to find out later that policy says we are supposed to handle it in another way. Even in the news site for employees, there was an article posted about reporting feedback about something, as well as reporting feedback from customers, all with a link posted on our homepage. I used this one time, and was then called in by my Assistant Manager and told that I should have brought the issue to my Assistant Manager, or Branch Manager before submitting via the feedback link, even though the news article tells me to just submit via the feedback button. The more troubling thing was that a week or so after getting in trouble for not following chain of command, THE SAME information was in the news site again, saying the same exact thing as before.
