Pros
SunTrust has many locations throughout the southeast and as the employee turnover seems pretty quick, it is relatively relatively easy to get your foot in the door. SunTrust has a good group insurance plan. profitsharing, and other benefits. As is the standard in the banking, there are usually twelve holidays a year meaning that the bank is closed. This is in addition to the vacation.
Cons
From my experience, the following were the most frustrating for SunTrust employees: employee ideas and opinions are not sought; there is very little chance for advancement beyond middle mngmt; there seems to be a very politically charged atmosphere in the work environment; and, it seems that there are more than a few incompetent people in leadership roles. "It's who you know" still seems to stand true in southern banking - even with a big regional bank.
