Pros

Base salary, team members in your office

Cons

No work life balance, regional managers that dont care for you as individual, regional managers provides no added value then telling you to go get more accounts, daily demands for action plans with constant fire drills, all this unneccesary work is actually counter productive and brings morale down. Lots of managers and bankers are fed up and you could already see the stream of managers and bankers leaving. Behind close doors all managers talk to each and are tired of the added pressure for 2015. Goals changed for retail banking employees for 2015 and all the most popular products were devalued in points. Seems the company is trying to save money on not paying out on production bonuses with new points structure.

Pros

Good benefits and 401k. They do have incentives in place if you meet/exceed sales goals

Cons

-So much of the job is focused on sales, and not on truly building a relationship with customers. I get chastised for not pushing product with each customer, even if I've already spoken to that customer numerous times previously. I've had customers yell at me and threaten to leave the bank because we push products too much. -CEI is ridiculous. You only get paid if the banking center as a whole has an A, not based on individual performance. Tellers are told to be intentionally vague about products in order to have customers meet with bankers, yet we are scored on whether or not we are Knowledgable about products, Proactive about offering services, etcetera. The surveys seem rigged to set you up for failure. -I asked if I could be compensated for parking and travel when I was asked to work at a different banking center, was bullied by my FCM to not apply for compensation because it would affect our P&L (profits and loss) -Consistently understaffed, high turn over -As a part time CSR, I found it very difficult to advance to a full time position. Seems like the bank prefers to hire part time workers rather than create full time positions

Pros

There are many opportunities available at Fifth Third if you know the right people. They have some of the best free learning and development programs I've ever seen in a company, and they're open to nearly every employee.

Cons

Fitting in is key, and this company doesn't make it easy for minorities. If you don't fit in, you don't advance. There's only so much a person can sacrifice without getting lost in the process. Also, the benefits are average (401k with 4% match).
