Pros

Worked at a smaller branch with a smaller crew where no one was worried about replacement. This allowed me to learn every aspect of every position within the company at that location. They were truly concerned about their employees. They showed many career paths.

Cons

Management took credit for things I did.

Pros

Great opportunity to travel and see other parts of the country / world. Great training with the CIS / CIM. Mostly very good people.

Cons

Expectations to do the job of two or three people. Very taxing, and no backup for when you are away on vacation. Sr. Management is a old boys club. When you're in your in. IF your not, your very dispensable.
