Fifth Third reviews

Where does one even begin? - Unqualified management who only manage up - Layers upon layers of bureaucracy. Nothing ever gets done efficiently or correctly - Poor titles and general role clarity - Terrible, outdated processes (if there are any at all?) - Outdated technologies (everything breaks, constantly) - Management who will throw you under bus in a heartbeat - Management that takes credit for their employees work - Management that plays favorites with their employees - Unfriendly and untrustworthy co-workers (can’t blame them, as it’s just a side effect of an unhealthy workplace) - High impact decisions made off ‘feelings’ and not facts or data - No accountability placed on Managers (they’ll blame someone who makes 3 times less than them, instead) - Negative work environment, where people are extremely unhappy - They don't care about previous experience or skills. You either act like management's dog, and play by their rules, or you will be labeled as 'uncooperative' or 'confrontational' or some other ridiculous word meant to demoralize you to the point you have lost all your self worth. In that sense, it's like being a slave or infantry. If you like being abused and want to lose your career confidence—work here. If you are looking for something more fulfilling in a career and don’t feel like being miserable everyday—do not work here.

In an effort to source my own leads (zero quality leads from bankers)...I met with a realtor(one of the many), a family friend, in the business for 30 years. His main suggestion was that I work for a different company. In his experience, he lost clients after the long turn time. He said he would never use Fifth Third Mortgage again.During training, I asked three times about the application fee. Three times because I couldn't get a straight answer. As it turns out, I accepted the $495 app fee when I took the app and supporting docs. I was later told you have to wait ten days and legally, I could not collect a different check, so, it came out of my pay. Our trainer resigned after 2 months. The ten of us were assigned branches on our own. It was supposed to be six months. Each question would take multiple calls and emails. My manager said call the resource desk, and they would say that I would need to ask my manager. Their systems for working and taking a loan app would freeze up. Processors and closers would get laid off and you would have to fight to get your loan to close.
