Pros

Your team will make or break your experience. If you can drink the corporate Kool-Aid, you'll fit right in.

Cons

Upper Management is in la la land and have no clue how bad the current retail state is right now. John Decero abruptly "retired" and now there is a temporary CEO. Annual bonus's and raises were a slap in the face for 2024. "We're lucky to be getting anything, some banks gave nothing this year." No work life balance as a manager here. Weekly sales calls are a complete waste of time. Everyday is survival mode, the new norm for most branches is 4 employees if you are lucky.

Pros

It is a new position for me. The training I have received has been exceptional. The vibe in the office so far is really good. I see room for growth and I now have a work life balance.

Cons

I'd like more pay but who doesn't. I believe I am paid correctly for my experience.

Pros

Decent pay, no work weekends

Cons

Back office operations is extremely unorganized during mergers, there is little to no communication with employees from upper management about plans, changes, etc. The company makes it clear they value profits over people.
