Maybe if you work yourself to the bone and don't mind micro-managment, you will prosper here. - Intern and Teller Fifth Third Employee Review

Pros

When working at Fifth Third, you may be recognized as working for a well-known, possibly well-respected company in the cincinnati area. That is, to people who have never worked at Fifth Third before.

Cons

Typical banking cultural - ultra conservative and very stifling. As a teller, be prepared to get grief if you ever need any time off. You will also be treated as a peon. Micro-managment - it is as if your are apart of some initiation ritual where you treat everyone below you in the bureaucratic hierarchy as poorly as possible. Sales is everything - regardless of your position you are expected to sell, sell, sell. Management is never satisfied with the numbers and always expects you to do better than the year before.
