Great First Job

Pros

It is a great organization to learn and train within the banking industry, then take those skills to other competitors who can appreciate your skills.The bank operates on the same value system it was established on many, many years ago. They operate as a family unit, very tight knit and hard to penetrate the upper echelons.

Cons

Employees are often pigeon-holed into a certain role, limiting upward mobility. Compensation is far below the competition and the "creative math" the company uses to justify the salaries is comical.

Pros

Great Developing Teller Excellence class. Work with charities, raising money. If you like badgering customers with selling products and services they don't want, this job is for you.

Cons

Inconsistencies in running branches. Greeting customers by name is seldom done and even though it is mandatory, it is seldom enforced. Pay raises are small to none, unless you are upper management who receives bonuses and huge raises. Mandatory teller referral goals, that if not met you will receive warnings and termination, which causes tellers to cheat in reporting referrals. Staffing is a joke. Seen plenty of times 3-4 customers standing in line with only one teller window open. Managers see the long customer lines, but ignore the situation. Teller training downtown is adequate, but there are a lot of areas of banking that are not taught. Many tellers have expressed they received better training at their branch than in the teller training program.
