Pros

I have just recently been hired for this position and so far, I have received nothing but support and opportunities. I have connected with a lot of different people from people on my level to people in high corporate positions. This is a team

Cons

The only problem is the platform D1 crashes frequently, I was told because it isn't compatible with Windows 11 so if there was a way to fix that everything would be perfect.

Shockingly Low Pay for a Bank Role

Associate financial representative

Business Outlook

Pros

I was fortunate to work with a solid team, because many others were clearly struggling in silence.

Cons

- The pay is unbelievably low for a position in a bank. - Even with solid experience in the same field, you are given the same compensation as someone just starting. - The work pulls a heavy toll and leaves you worn down day after day. - You must stay cautious around certain colleagues, since kindness is far from guaranteed in this place.
