Pros

Paycheck every two weeks Decent benefits Generally good immediate coworkers

Cons

There are unrealistic expectations here for sales. They just laid a good number of people off and those of us left are picking up their workload in addition to our own, while doubling or tripling our sales goals. As a result, I think a lot of customers are seen as walking credit applicatons instead of people by upper management. Working here has become much more stressful since I was hired. There used to be a much better feeling of community within the bank, but now it seems more and more emplyees are tired of being overworked due to understaffing and have given up on geting any help from management.

Pros

If you work hard and show that you care and are trying, you will do well and quickly move up in this bank. I think the bank does well with staffing and recognizing talent. Benefits are pretty good and a you get a good amount of time off! I think communication is pretty good in this bank. A lot of good management.

Cons

Just recently, the branch goals have become quite high and difficult to reach and a lot more pressure is being put on everyone. It seems that each year, there are major cut backs to budgets and also a significant amount of people are being let go and the rest are shuffled around. This is pressuring as well, that uneasy feeling of not knowing how long you will be employed for or what other changes are in store for you or the bank.
