Pros

Many branch locations, so it's quite easy to switch branches if there's an opening. Good pay, benefits, nice PTO and bank holidays.

Cons

While I was there they switched all bankers to Universal Bankers which meant you became a teller as well as doing your current job, making it extremely hard to focus on tasks at hand and customers. Everyone was on a teller schedule throughout the day and if it got busy you assisted, causing everyone to constantly run back and forth. They also implemented a customer form that you had to check off every step of your interaction right in front of the customer!!!! It made you look to them that you didn't know what you were doing. Then you had to show the branch manager for them to review it.

Pros

The pros are the benefits, the pay could be higher for all that you learn and have to go through for ten weeks. They offer tuition assistance and opportunity for upskilling and advancing in such little time and the remote flexibility is great too

Cons

Management sucks and of course they have their favorites and then they have the people they target like myself. They micromanage bad and are quick to give you an occurrence for nothing. Their systems are so slow and then they blame you for being five ten minutes late logging in. They want you to tell them when you get up to breathe, go to the bathroom and they push for you to take calls and know boatloads of info after on 3 weeks of training. What they don’t know is that I will sue for any wrong doings or discrimination and I keep records of everything
