Pros

If you have a good branch manager, great! Depending on where you live your RAM is amazing (Myrtle Beach area) or they are horrible (Charlotte area).

Cons

Very low pay, way below average, careful of racist comments in the workplace, turning in to a bigger bank, people can be horrible at job and not get fired
