Pros

Great pay when compared to the same postion at other banks. Generous vacation/personal time allowed annually. The branch staff I work with is friendly, they feel like my second family. I have worked in several branches and they are all friendly. I have not had problems with any co-workers.

Cons

It is a sales culture with goals. They have high expectations for their employees to telemarket and cold call to businesses in person. For the competitive sales-oriented individual this is great but for someone looking for a non-sales environment this will be a con.

Pros

First Citizens is a strong company that is in a position of growth when other financial companies are down-sizing. Strong job security. There is plentry of communication between managment levels and retail as well as a modest reward system for retail growth.

Cons

While the retail side of the business has some potential for employee growth in a career path as well as a modest reward system in place for sales, if you leave the retail side the growth is nearly a stand-still and there is little ability to grow.
