Pros

Flexible schedule, lots of training available to grow career, everything you do is tracked ( sales ) which gives you a reference as to where you stand amongst your peers. Large company with many different employment opportunities prove yourself and you will be moved up the ladder.

Cons

There are a lot of distractions that clutter your day such as useless reports and conference calls. Big disconnect from upper management and branch staff, too much why aren't you and not enough tell us what we can do to help you. Direction changes with management,this will change the way you operate, leading to poor results.

Pros

A comfortable work environment with knowledgeable senior staff and management. Flexible hours and a reasonable work load. Accommodating of personal needs.

Cons

Advancement is a slow process, leaning the job functions well occurs long before there is an opportunity to advance. Potential is limited by a small number of slots for career progression.

Pros

They offer a full benefit package, medical, dental, vision. You can even get a discount on pet insurance. Time off is another good benefit, FT starts with 18 days yrly and PT 15. Can't beat that.

Cons

Hourly rates/Salary. If your hired from the outside now, you'll get paid quite well and it will be in line with what other banks are paying. However, if you have been with the bank, than your just SOL. Raises for non salaried employess are ridiculous 1.5% or @ 2% and that with a great evaluation. Seasoned managers are making 35k to 40k when new ones are hired at 60k???? Thats a huge difference and a slap in the face to all who have worked hard to get where they are. The banks reasoning, when you are promoted they can't go over a certain percentage of what you were making.
