Pros

Had a good branch manager, okay incentives for sales, room for growth in other areas of the bank (besides retail banking), good employee benefits.

Cons

Terrible culture for women, most senior management are men with 'the good ol' boys' mentality. At the short time I was there, they got rid of the Customer Service Manager position, which was >80% women who had hit a (short) glass ceiling within the company. This move lost them a lot of organizational knowledge, leading to diminishing customer service. Policy changes are not communicated well with the employees. The branch I was employed at was in a high-crime area, and 5/3 provided little security, leading to altercations with outraged customers.

Pros

Large organization with many local opportunities. The company has some talented people, and some are rewarded for their contributions.

Cons

Management is running the organization too lean for sustainable success. Many systems need updated, and 5 jobs for every 3 people has some truth to it.

Pros

Very aggressive sales and production expectations, you're forced into finding sales opportunities with every customer interaction.

Cons

Heavy micro managing style, giving little opportunity to work autonomously. Very stressful at times. Incentive compensation is pretty lousy, especially considering the emphasis placed on investment referrals/revenue.
