Pros

- Decent pay for regular tellers. - Good hours since most branches closes earlier than other banks. - Opportunities to move up (although not really worth it)

Cons

- Sales sales sales all the time, up in your face - Getting a promotion does not increase your pay by much but adds a ton of work. Pay is less than if you had gotten hired off the street fo the position. - Depending on the branch, some branches have a culture of volunteering to stay late to meet sales goals. Work is life - Sales goals increase by an absurd amount every year regardless of whether or not you have met your goals this year
