Pros

The market leaders really support their workers if you show effort. They care about your growth and want you to succeed.

Cons

Still a good old boys bank.

Pros

Training is available for all facets of the bank, you can move up and around the company with relative ease, pay is comparable (and sometimes higher) than similar sized banks, and the schedule is set with 40 hours, so you always know what to expect. PTO is generous, and earned quickly.

Cons

The company overall puts the emphasis on sales and not on service. You are expected to meet sales goals that are out of reach, and the pressure is very high to make every conversation result in a sale, but sometimes at the expense of what your customer really needs. The corporate business model also closes branches without much concern for the customers or staff that are affected.

Pros

I started working at First Citizens earlier this summer between my spring and fall semester. I learned a lot about the banking industry, and its culture. Anytime I would need help, there was always someone willing to assist me. I am very pleased with the company.

Cons

No cons towards the company.
