Pros

The pros were paid holidays, paid vacation, insurance benefits, and opportunity to move up. They also have an amazing training program.

Cons

Where do I start? They will hire on pretty much anyone that is breathing. The pay is super low compared to the rest of the market and they try to make up for this by saying that you have an opportunity to make incentives on certain products. What they don't tell you is that it's almost impossible to sell these products. Their response to covid19 was terrible. We were told not to wear gloves because it "scares the customer". We're scared too! They never once closed their doors to customers like every other bank in the area did. On top of that they let go of some really amazing employees that had been there over 5 years when business slowed down due to covid. Employees are overworked, underpaid, and constantly hounded with sales goals. They are always reminded that their jobs are expendable and they can be replaced easily. My advice would be to stay for the training and then get out of there as soon as possible.

Pros

IBC offers a fun, low stress environment. Management gets along well with frontline employees and always has celebrations for employees.

Cons

Could be low pay but it’s an entry level job and gives you the opportunity to move up.

Pros

You could make really good friends....

Cons

GARBAGE pay for such a high-responsibility position. You’re doing way more than a regular teller, but the compensation does not reflect the workload at all. They advertise “competitive pay,” but every other bank in my area starts on average $4–$5 higher. The only “extra” compensation is micro bonuses for CC referrals, account openings (SALES ONLY — $7 per MAX POINT account), and JDP surveys, ranging from $25–$35 per successful one—good luck consistently hitting those. Be ready for long lines, nonstop pressure, and constant feedback about metrics and performance. It’s a high-stress environment that does not match the pay level. Once you’re cross-trained, expect to be doing the work of both a teller and a sales role while receiving none of the benefits of the sales point system that is supposedly used to justify the structure. Use this job as a stepping stone into banking, but don’t treat it as a long-term option—it’s not worth the stress. Across the industry and even locally, compensation is noticeably higher for similar or even less demanding roles. There’s no real rush or clear structure for advancement, but at least with the periodic mass layoffs used to cut costs and reset staffing back to lower pay levels, there’s technically opportunity to move up during turnover… (you still might be the one getting let go anyway).
