Pros

People I work with are great and flexible, location isn't as high traffic, offers 401K, benefits (I don't currently use the benefits), stocks.

Cons

Pay, incentives are given out per Quarter not monthly... Currently loans have been a pain to get approved lately and that messes with your incentives.

Pros

Customer focus at branch level.

Cons

Lots of training upfront, management is very busy with conference calls. Staffing shortages are a regular thing and to approve or make requisition changes can take weeks, Branches will regularly run short staffed. Lots of commitments to partner and than left to figure it out.
