Pros
Name recognition. Awesome senior management who actually listen to their bankers. Better pay than average and bonus' could definitely be worse. Great technology. Pretty good training.
Cons
Branch managers are a joke. Their entire role is to "babysit" their bankers. The company needs to rework their BMs entire job description-- they should be driving sales, building moral, and training their staff-- instead of micromanaging everything from my posture to my tone of voice. Micromanaging puts your team on edge, it does NO good at all. Working the lobby is not customer service friendly and frankly DOES NOT WORK. DMs play the political game. This needs to be cut out, it is very annoying and not effective. I dont see advancement happening-- BMs are too busy tearing down my every move than promoting my skills. No community outreach-- let us be involved in the communities we work in everyday.
