Pros

My manager was great which is more than I can say for most of the others GREAT training program and AMAZING instructors

Cons

Very Manipulative upper management They tend to hire young people who have never worked before and don't realize how horrible the management is There is so much drama its ridiculous. And the majority of it is caused by the upper management of whom most of them are in the 40s-50s In the beginning they start you out in this great training program that I'm pretty for sure is meant to brainwash you into thinking that you're actually working for a good company before you go into your actually branch and see what a shit-storm it really is. They give you a starting sales goal of 11 points which seams pretty easy but then when you start getting accounts they make up ridiculous reasons as to why certain accounts don't count towards your points and by the end of the month it's almost impossible to reach your sales goal, especially if you work in a branch with several employees who are also on trying to make their goals. I had a customer that was being wrongfully charged and when I called the back office to see what had happened they couldn't figure it out until finally they put me on the phone with the manage and she said "I don't know" and acted like that was a sufficient enough answer. I spoke with my area sales manager telling him that this was horrible customer service and wasn't acceptable in my book and he said he was so sorry and would be contacting his boss to get this resolved. I emailed him once a week until the day I quit to make sure things were being handled and he always said he was working on it...my last day at IBC (3 months after I had initially contacted him about this problem) the issue had still not been resolved!! VERY unprofessional environment!

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).
