Pros

They pay you every other Friday. They are closed Saturdays They are closed on Holidays. There are some really great people that don’t lie because they are not managers or bank officers.

Cons

Local upper management forces you to break policy and then hide behind decisions. The upper management are there for themselves not to coach employees.
