Pros

Pto, Holidays and bonus pay if you are a top branch that goes above their goals. Didn’t work weekends until recently so that is now a con for me. The clients are loyal and make it worth going in everyday. There is room to advance to a certain point then once you get to management level it goes to a screeching halt unless your in your early 20’s and blonde. Experience means nothing to getting a management role. If you are looking for a position that doesn’t require a lot of work outside of your pay grade then I wouldn’t even bother applying. FCB was enjoyable To work at until the last 6-8 months

Cons

Pushy with loans, No experienced managers so unless you are young and blonde you will never go anywhere in the company, working 6 days a week with no lunches or relief and managers will still tell you to take a break even though you have no lunch coverage. Short staffed with a high turnover rate and no matter how hard you work, you will go unnoticed and are expected to do more than your position requires because the managers don’t know how to do it. PTO is hard to take when you need to even though it was scheduled months ago.
