Pros

Benefits are fairly good and can increase the longer you are there.

Cons

Management does not look at the talent of the person and where they fit best. They have been cutting back for years and expect those left behind to take on more without much incentive. Training is minimal and normally done "on the job" along with all the other work assigned to you. Credit is not shared when something is done well.

Pros

The benefits are good and finding internal promotions is easy to a point (see below). Salaries are competitive. The company is good about communicating organizational news and goals. They match up to 4% of your 401(k) contribution.

Cons

At lower pay grades it is very hard to make your voice heard. Even leaders seem to have a hard time affecting change due to the rigid structure of the organization. If you work hard, you'll move up the ladder quickly until you hit a glass ceiling where you can't move up anymore without a background in finance, accounting or business.

Pros

Some nice coworkers, decent medical/vision/dental, other than that I find it very difficult to find anything as a benefit.

Cons

Pay is less than other banks for similar positions, little or no opportunity to move out of retail into a corporate position (internal interviewing has zero benefit over an outside candidate), changing sales agenda monthly (change in focus all year round), plan working most weekend hours if you want to hit your goals and keep a job, have low expectations on pay raises and don't plan on getting 5's regardless of your performance review because "only perfect gets a 5 and no one's perfect", customer service activities (like disputes) and loans (like equity products) are being outsourced now so that your job is less essential => they can pay you less and you're easily replaced, hub meetings are meaningless but always entertaining seeing all the new faces (every time), the CFO in 2013 said that a full third (1/3) of the branches will be converted into "Teller Assist" stations by 2015 -so even if you get the job, there's a good chance you won't keep it long; very high school feel to the work environment (you're either in the 'in-group' or you're an outsider), "One Bank" is a joke -your "partners" are entirely 100% commission people (MLO and IE/IA) and will not work that hard for you since they have 'lay down' business daily or they can "make more money prospecting myself'; the culture at the retail level is all about cut-throat at any cost...I could go on for a long time, but I warn anyone reading this to stay away or go to a competitor if you're looking for a retail banking job because this place is crazy
