Pros

Pay wasn’t bad, benefits were decent and if you were lucky enough to have a good knowledgeable manager

Cons

Upper management and HR so two faced, if you have a true problem you have no where to trim because no one can be trusted. They only want to hire Barbie dolls, no one with any real intelligence or that may know more than they do. Their expectations are ridiculous! It’s more like a telemarketing firm than a bank. If you want to spend each and every day making cold calls or get told about not having your quota for the day then this job is for you but if you believe in truly helping customers don’t go there to work they tell you they want you to help the clients and it’s not about sales we are just educating them it’s a lie! They will tell you in an interview that you will have to make some calls to just talk to clients about products that can help them but they want you to sell whatever you can regardless if the customer needs it or not. They do not care about their customers or their employees! Since covid employees couldn’t barely get any of their pto or didn’t find out until the night before if it was approved! It’s hard to make any “life plans” when you can’t even schedule a vacation with your family!

Pros

Pto, Holidays and bonus pay if you are a top branch that goes above their goals. Didn’t work weekends until recently so that is now a con for me. The clients are loyal and make it worth going in everyday. There is room to advance to a certain point then once you get to management level it goes to a screeching halt unless your in your early 20’s and blonde. Experience means nothing to getting a management role. If you are looking for a position that doesn’t require a lot of work outside of your pay grade then I wouldn’t even bother applying. FCB was enjoyable To work at until the last 6-8 months

Cons

Pushy with loans, No experienced managers so unless you are young and blonde you will never go anywhere in the company, working 6 days a week with no lunches or relief and managers will still tell you to take a break even though you have no lunch coverage. Short staffed with a high turnover rate and no matter how hard you work, you will go unnoticed and are expected to do more than your position requires because the managers don’t know how to do it. PTO is hard to take when you need to even though it was scheduled months ago.
