Pros

Onsite cafe that offers variety of options

Cons

The reviews about the risk management department and the chief risk officer are true. This department is run by fear and favoritism. NOT SURE WHY THIS HAS BEEN ALLOWED FOR SO LONG. Smart ones have left, those left behind are looking to get out.

Pros

Still the best job in all of retail banking. Exceptional pay and benefits. You are treated with the utmost care and respect... I hope it lasts.

Cons

Noticing a STRONG shift to a more sales oriented structure. What used to be a soft sales approach is now turning into mandatory cold calling sessions. They had us go on Yelp and start dialing all of the local businesses to pitch them business lines of credit... we never used to do things like that. All of our business used to be generated off of referrals and strong reputation. Customers used to comment on how they loved not having us call them to push products on them. Looks like management has lost sight of what made FRB standout. So far it hasn't gotten too bad just yet, but the writing is on the wall. Most of us on the retail side are concerned.

Pros

Unprofessional, Racist, Hires people so can fire and justify to the board. Pays a lot to the vendors and contractors because of their relationship, I will say a corrupt and unethical practice.

Cons

None, They can say the food and cafeteria but do not join as a full time employee rather work as a contractor .
