Pros
- Ability to contribute to HSA - 6% 401K match - School reimbursement, but work's schedule, & company's interest comes before yours. "It's a business, after all", been told. - Great direct management team. - Friendly co-workers. - Dress code tends to be relaxed, as long as it's appropriated, and professional. - May be a good stepping stone to get into the finance world.
Cons
- Very micro-managing. - Rules & regulations are made & given by bunch of CEOs, etc., who have no idea how the real branches work. - Long process(es) to get something done. - Sale practices are being replaced by contanst reviews of the CNAs, BNAs, & # of referrals from the management. - Raises are being replaced by customers' quarterly average of reviews, & surveys. - Extremely under-staffed. - A person's education, knowledge, years of service, level of customer service, or # of licenses don't mean a squat, but the ability of "kissing the right places", definitely do wonders. - The memory of the scandals are tattooed in the public's minds. Customers still bring them up from time to time, & employees are still being hammered for something they didn't do. - Just like with all big companies, anyone is replaceable. - Extremely difficult to move up. - Pay is low, compare to the company's competitors. Typical 2% annual raise, if there's any.
