Pros

Training is straight forward. Plenty of work with some down time. Laid bake branches.

Cons

Not always foot traffic, have to find things to do. See the same customers over and over again.

Pros

You can have access to different areas, and learn things cross functionally. And since it is a small bank, colleagues are easy talking persons.

Cons

It is a small bank, so it is not very competitive to big players. The turnover rate is a bit high. And the structure keeps changing.

Pros

- Hours....if you work in a traditional branch. (If you work in an in-store branch, you will work until 7 everyday including holidays and you'll work Saturdays and Sundays until 3) - Paid training (pay mileage to training facility) - Small bonuses if you can somehow magically manage to meet the quarterly sales goal - Three weeks vacation begins immediately - pays better than most banks

Cons

- Very poor management (micro-managed) - Cold calling twice per week until 6 sometimes 7 at night - Goals are unattainable and you will be terminated for not hitting them - You will stand by Get-Go gas pumps and sell checking accounts and credit cards - You will walk up to people shopping for groceries in GE stores and sell accounts and credit cards - You will be told an hour before you are due to leave for the day that you're working past close to make cold calls. - Very stressful job for the pennies you will make - Your manager will make or break your experience here - You will be asked to do unethical things in order to hit goal
