Pros
Health benefits, solid training, professional cultural and work environment. Ethical, well-respected bank and brand name. Doing the right thing for the customer is paramount.
Cons
Bonuses will depend on the branch you are assigned, meaning is it a busy branch or slow branch? At busier branches, the walk-in traffic is sufficient to generate decent bonuses. If you get assigned to a slower branch, there will be an expectation to make a lot of calls to customers, book appointments for the financial advisor or the private banker. My branch was in a neighborhood with lots of retirees. They weren't interested in meeting with the FA or private client banker. At slower branches, expect to do a lot of mundane work with ordering checks and debit cards, resetting PIN numbers, reprinting statements, etc. Private banker, branch manager, it doesn't matter. It will be part of the job. Your breaks and lunches are usually dependant on lobby flow, and co-workers bad time management, so don't bother making lunch plans. As a full-grown adult, it grated on me to be told when I could take breaks & lunches. For upward mobility, expect to be in your position for YEARS before even being considered for another position, regardless of qualifications or experience. They want to know that you can 'produce' (bring in more assets) before they will move you up. I understand that, but in a low-volume branch that production will be a challenge. It may be a challenge to get to a busier branch too.
