Pros

They will train and pay you. Some trainers like are really good as they work hard to teach you until all person get the concept, while some aren't.

Cons

It is the worst place to work. During training they put a lot of stress and pressure on you. Everyday they teach you or better say they read from material for you and they want you remember all things word by word because this is IBC rules. Of course, some easy concept like customer service attitude, they will explain to you 100 times like hand shaking and smile. Sometimes you are not allowed to go to the rest room !!!!. Some genius staffs thinks trainer are stupid and don't respect to the their age, experience or knowledge. This is IBC rules if you get 3 days off for emergency situation, on 4 day you have to write resign letter. You are not allowed to answer your phone even your Dr call you during working hours and you have serious medical problems. They push you to open 5-10 accounts per month as a teller or 20 as a sales associate, if you can't, you are terminated. Even they have empty vacancy near your location, they will try to put you on far places. Some staffs are not polite. Experiencing uncomfortable environment and pushing to open accounts is the reason the turn over is high at IBC Bank in Houston.

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).
