      Company as a whole was good to work for with great values.

      Pros

      It's a job that gives great exposure to the financial services industry. Depending on where your branch is located, you could be rewarded with competent management both at the branch and regional level. If you work in a traditional stand alone branch you'll have holidays and Sundays off as well as rotating Saturdays. There are a lot of career opportunities available however, the bank has made it quite evident that they want to keep their sales staff in the branches and not give them the opportunity to move to the corporate offices. The customers for the most part are great and after they get use to seeing your face on a consistent basis, they will keep coming back to you. Depending on your branch, your coworkers could be so much fun to work with especially when everyone understands that everyone feels the same way.

      Cons

      If I knew what the job actually was at the time which I interviewed, I would have never accepted the offer. Management is putting multiple responsibilities on the shoulders of its underpaid branch staff and is not offering or approving requests for pay increases. Sales goals and the incentive program go hand in hand when you see how little you get for a quarterly bonus. The conference calls, reporting, call nights, the Customer Experience Process (which is a monster of its own), all are a waste of time when you see how little your quarterly bonus is. No one cares one bit about what is good for the client. They only care about making the daily sales goals and quarterly bonuses. If a customer has weak sales resistance, they are as good as gold in the branch. It's not personal banking and the theme is clear, how much can we get out of the customer today. Be prepared for a lot of call nights until 6 or 7pm and also be prepared to realize you are calling the same customers all the time most likely for the same products.

      Clearly all about the customer service, what we can do better to help the customers is the most important part of the job.

      Cons
