sell sell sell... can you say daily excessive pressure?

Personal banker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Brand name recognition and financially sound company. The benefit package is not bad and experience with them is good on the resume

Cons

The company does not value education in any way and managers highly promote a used car salesman mentality. The pressure at the branch level is tremendous and you will be constantly asked to bring business from friends and family. Overral, more unhappy employees by far. Have another option available before signing up. Frankly you might really HATE it

Business Outlook

Pros

The results based rewards system actively promotes for solid performance. They maintain a thorough training program. The benefits package was incredible for an hourly worker. Management was demanding, but great to work with.

Cons

There is a lot of pressure to sell. You must be willing to exert yourself, but the rewards for sales are great.
