What A Joke

Pros

Pay, that's it. If you're coming from a big bank they will offer a nice salary to lure you in. Then they smack you in the face with stupidity almost instantly after starting. If you are the kind of person who is "just happy to have a job" you will thrive here as long as you want to put up with pitiful supervision and management. THE BEST PLAY HERE is to use them as a stepping stone. Get a salary bump out of them and then leave. Quickly.

Cons

Supervision. Management. Training. Leadership. They can't keep talented people. Your co-workers will be nice enough, but most hate their job and actively try to work as little as possible each day. If you have a work ethic, this bank is going to frustrate you. It's not just a department or two, it's throughout the bank. I wont even touch on how horrible it will be for you if you work in a branch. Thank goodness I did not.

Pros

Good pay for entry level job. Company is growing. Branches are opening across the U.S. They offer medical benefits and vacation to part time employees. (for now)

Cons

Benefits are expensive compared to the past years and other companies. Not much growth available to branch employees. Not all customers are happy about the changes the bank is making. Two sets of layoffs in the last few years. Employees seem worried about job security. More work with less staff (all managers are required to be cross trained) Some managers that have been with the company a while are lazy. (unwilling to learn new department operations to help out) Maybe hoping retirement will happen before the banks become completely automated.

Pros

Cafeteria on site. Surrounding area is freeway accessible and plenty of parking. Benefit of banker's holidays such as Columbus Day.

Cons

Managers and executives promote and take care of each other, but despite attempts at cultural changes, it is still a boy's club. Managers play favorites in some departments. Impossibly vague review process, which changes every year. Increased contractors, as FTEs are treated as expendable. Salary varies widely for same position. Training despite what management says is not easy to get. Unless you get hired by a friend or into a Director position, there is no opportunity for growth. Tech here is old. (They still do not support any of the mobile pay solutions and have no plans to.) Once a fun place, but now.... politics, backstabbing, and even more politics.
