Pros
The benefits package is pretty good, as well as time off. In the industry you are forced to take 5 consecutive days off each year...which you will be begging for before too long. The hours are better considering its 'retail hours', and you usually get some Saturday's off each month.
Cons
1. The East Coast policies really don't work here on the West Coast. 2. Customer base is NEVER taken into consideration when it comes to evaluating a bankers PVCs (incentive). I think it says something when NO BANKER is successful at a particular location and hasn't been for months. 3. The clothes really suck. 4. Constant pressure to force customers to come in to 'appointments' where they don't realize all you are really doing is selling them a checking account. 5. Pushy tactics that make customers feel uncomfortable and leaving them to constantly complain that banking has really changed, they wish we were still WAMU, they don't like feeling like they have done something wrong due to the constant profiling.
