Pros
Met some cool people, the decor of the buildings were interesting, lots of materials to study for licensing exams, had a classroom feel for the begining of banking to teach about mortgages/loans which was nice instead of dropping you in a pool and telling you to swim. A friend wanted to work there in a non-banking position, I told her my experiences but I also told her to try it out, it may be for her. Through the company's referral program while I was there, another friend got into the banking poisition and she is still there and seems to love it.
Cons
This company and their family of companies was total big-brother, mostly fake people (I emphasize on some), and a nightmare! I really wish I didn't do the banking! I have a feeling if I waited and was offered an "hourly" position--not a crazy commission circumstances--it would have been better. We moved into 3 different buildings 3 times in the 6 months I was there. Basically don't get "too" comfortable at your desk. If you are not a lap dog to your directors they insult and belittle you. "Relationships" were formed as friends up until I left they were dissolved, therefore answers that a lot of people were fake. They had a wonderful benefits package but how dare you make an appintment to get your teeth cleaned or go to the doctor! I luckily decided to leave before the month was up so I had a few weeks to finally go to appointments and use my health and dental insurance! When others quit before me it was usually done in secret because if you decide to quit while at work they escort you out like you are some deviant! When it was time for me to leave I did it as if I was leaving for the day with my things, not making it obvious then just emailing my director the next day saying it wasn't for me. They claim they want you to discover yourself as a person but what I found was some sort of streamlined way to turn people into work zombies. I was "different" and I think they saw that so that could have been why it felt hellish there for me most of the time.
