Horrible Workplace

Branch manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and many locations to move around. Great place to learn all about banking.

Cons

Generations of managers that only know how to think like the former Chevy Chase Bank and have no clue what the rest of the industry does. The culture is all about favoritism and unfair treatment of staff. They never give you the information upfront and it is a forever parking lot of hidden agendas. Branches runing with skeleton crews are the norm, employees get transferred without notice, and there is a culture of crazy operations requirements that are put on the mananger's all the time. It usually feels like manangment is out to get you in order to avoid giving you a raise at the end.

It is highly competitive, but decent competencies mean solid compensation, benefits, stability and casual environment.

Integrated technical lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Best compensation, benefits, job stabilty around. Work environment is casual, allows work-life balance, or occassionally working from home. If you aren't lazy and do your job, and have decent competencies, you will consistently be rated well, although it is much harder and more competitive to actually advance.

Cons

Recognition and Advancement sometimes is more dependent on having a good manager to represent you in cross-calibrations, or having impressed the right people, rather than actually doing your job well.
