Pros
Not only is it currently the highest performing financial services company in the region, the corporate culture is evident in the day-to-day operations of the company and not merely a set of words printed on an index card and forgotten. The current management is committed and competent, and the exposure and ability to advance is there when sought. The overall compensation value is one of the best in the industry, and it seems every employee is very content with his or her job. It seems like half of BB&T's employees have left other banks to come work for BB&T, and the other half have been with BB&T for their entire career.
Cons
There is not a whole lot of vacation time given out in the beginning of one's BB&T career, and there is not a whole lot of room for advancement of those whose work ethic is lacking.
