Pros

The only thing I gained was friendships from employees I worked with.

Cons

Just terrible management. They overpay underqualified employees. They underpay overqualified employees. Thus, they lose all the quality employees to other banks. They hire people who Taco Bell wouldn't hire. They expect you to sell things to customers that customers don't need. They give the same sales goal to hundreds of branches, not taking into account the demographics of the area. No recognition. You are a robot who is only as good as your last sale. I feel they got too big, too fast, lost the leadership of RBS, and simply have no idea what they're doing. If you're honest with upper management, you WILL get fired. They will find a way. I feel bad for the employees who are still there.

Pros

Generous pto allowance, good products to offer, great colleagues

Cons

Low morale in branches due to rolling red, which is a new policy where employees are written up if they don't meet their investment goal. Too many call nights and trackers. Turnover is continuing to rise as lousy policies get rolled out. They'll literally tell you what to say to your customers with daily roll plays through the computer.
