Pros

PTO is good...thats about it.

Cons

As a company they do not care about their employees. Its all about fake made up widgets that they shove down bankers throats from directors and regional managers. They promote people that commit commission fraud since it reflects on the managers. They give people positions that they are not qualified for.Bankers are trained to convince customers to open second and third checking accounts because their jobs are threatened if they don't. This Market has the worst leadership in the company as they have no control over their branches..they have a 60% turnover rate in retail for 2015...explains a lot itself. They state customers are the most important but they are only important if they are opening a credit card or investment.

Pros

Excellent work/life balance – Expectations are reasonable, and leadership genuinely respects personal time and flexibility, which makes it easier to sustain long‑term performance. Strong internal promotion culture – Many colleagues advance from within, and it’s clear the company invests in developing its people rather than always looking externally. Exceptional senior leadership – Senior leaders are visible, engaged, and hands‑on. They spend time in the weeds, visit branches, and actively connect with colleagues at all levels instead of operating at a distance. Collaborative, supportive colleagues – Teams work well together and there is a sense of shared purpose rather than internal competition.

Cons

Pace of change can be slower in some areas – As a large organization, certain processes and initiatives can take time to roll out or gain traction, which may be frustrating for those who prefer rapid change.

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
