Pros

When performance meets goal you are generally well rewarded. Fifth Third has a lot of market share in certain areas which can make selling the bank a little easier. It is a very large institution with many career paths to explore. They encourage posting for jobs internally which can make it easier to gain exposure to different areas of interest.

Cons

Fifth Third has always been known for having very aggressive and sometimes unattainable goals. The fact that the bank as a whole call fall short of its goals does not relieve the pressure from the individual for falling short. The competition can sometimes create strained relationships among co-workers. Management is often at a loss on how to achieve the goals and therefore does not offer useful guidance to employees. Many times the bank seems in panic mode and jumps around in priorities.

Sales goals can be demanding at times, and balancing customer service with production expectations can be challenging. Staffing levels occasionally created additional workload during busy periods.
