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.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
