Pros

I love the people I work with and get along with everyone here, for the most part.

Cons

Where do I begin... First of all, I was lied to upon being hired. I was told that every 3 to 4 months, I would receive a raise. When I asked around about it, fellow employees laughed at that. No one ever gets a raise here, unless you get some major promotion or unless you beg for it. I also feel that certain employees are definitely favored over others. Certain employees will get promotions and raises left and right, while others are stuck doing the same thing for 13 years. And when people leave, there's just a bunch of cross-training. They don't want to replace anyone anymore.

Pros

IBC offers a fun, low stress environment. Management gets along well with frontline employees and always has celebrations for employees.

Cons

Could be low pay but it’s an entry level job and gives you the opportunity to move up.

Pros

You could make really good friends....

Cons

GARBAGE pay for such a high-responsibility position. You’re doing way more than a regular teller, but the compensation does not reflect the workload at all. They advertise “competitive pay,” but every other bank in my area starts on average $4–$5 higher. The only “extra” compensation is micro bonuses for CC referrals, account openings (SALES ONLY — $7 per MAX POINT account), and JDP surveys, ranging from $25–$35 per successful one—good luck consistently hitting those. Be ready for long lines, nonstop pressure, and constant feedback about metrics and performance. It’s a high-stress environment that does not match the pay level. Once you’re cross-trained, expect to be doing the work of both a teller and a sales role while receiving none of the benefits of the sales point system that is supposedly used to justify the structure. Use this job as a stepping stone into banking, but don’t treat it as a long-term option—it’s not worth the stress. Across the industry and even locally, compensation is noticeably higher for similar or even less demanding roles. There’s no real rush or clear structure for advancement, but at least with the periodic mass layoffs used to cut costs and reset staffing back to lower pay levels, there’s technically opportunity to move up during turnover… (you still might be the one getting let go anyway).
