Assistant branch manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The technology is advanced. You can learn about many diverse areas of banking. They have many different product lines banking, brokerage, insurance, loans. Easy to get in if seeking entry level or second career.

Cons

This company will suck the life out of you! They expect you to act like a physician always on call, not matter what. However, the compensation in no way warrants the demands. You are never, ever, going to be able to deliver enough for this company. If you do well, they simply short staff your branch and expect more. They talk a good game about career development, work life balance, etc. Do not be fooled this is the WalMart of banks.

Pros

Good benefits. Just about ends there.

Cons

Widget sales. Micro management. Punishment for not meeting goals. Treated like you are dumb. Unreasonable sales goals. Absolutely ridiculous sales plan. Terrible rates on loans and savings items. All hands on deck Saturdays on a whim. Management does not care about employees or customers. Terrible customer service. Please leave your brain at the door and follow our scripts way of doing things.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good at rewarding for job well done. Can, sometimes, improve a customers financial needs. Offers tons of prod/svcs that can help almost anyone.

Cons

No opportunities of advancement for your hard work, unless you know someone... Sales goals are extremely high to where employees will get discouraged The sales goals is all your manager/supervisor will look at being that they are written up for their teams not meeting the quota which makes everyone look bad in the end... Contacting HR does not get anything done
