Pros

good salary, some excellents peers, my direct boss is excelent, as guide and as friend, I adore my job, I like to help people to resolve their problems

Cons

Many times there are bad branch managers, specialy mine, he is not qualified to lead a branch or tu have people in charge. There is no relationship between the service that the bank promotes with the number of workers it has in the branches and leaves much to be desired attention we can provide to customers, since the systems are obsolete
