Pros

The only pro at this time is PTO.

Cons

If micromanagement is what you like, this is the job for you! They are pushing the customers out of the bank and expecting the bankers to do more to get them back in. Check ups are the most ridiculous things that customers are not interested in. Whoever is coming up with these ideas should actually spend time in the branches to understand what our customers want. Call night is awful! How many times do you answer the phone when a telemarketer calls? Being hung up on constantly and told "sorry my husband is deceased" please do not call again, is no fun at all. It is all about the numbers. Really tired of being told "must be held accountable".... It is all about the numbers not about the customers. Have gone back to the stone ages with 3 ring binders and printing every piece of paper to put in them for regionals to go through and criticize. If it did not work 10 years ago why on earth would it work now? They never have a good thing to say only the bad. Sell, sell, sell or else! Loyalty and commitment mean absolutely nothing at this bank. You will leave at the end of each day with your head feeling like it is going to explode from stress. It is actually sad. There is a revolving door of colleagues. Today people do not want to be treated like they are worthless unless they are exceeding unattainable goals. We work hard everyday no matter what. I take my job seriously and it makes no difference. I always do what is best for my customers. I am not going to sell them something they do not need just to reach a goal that I get very little incentive for.

Pros

Good incentive program and system to track your daily activities. Weekly pay is nice! The products and services are clear and simple. Good referrals systems.

Cons

Have to travel far or stay overnight at hotels for attending trainings in the first 6 months of hire. Some business partners are not very supportive. I guess it is normal in banking world.

Pros

I can not currently recommend any reason to work at this company in under the risk management umbrella.

Cons

Ever since the company went public, every year feels like more and more benefits are being taken away. Bonuses and annual compensation increases are insultingly low, despite quarterly updates on how well the bank is doing. The policies for receiving officer titles become more restrictive every year. Risk and compliance jobs are constantly under an efficiency review looking for cuts year after year. Management is aloof.
