Pros

The benefits are very good. Management is mostly understanding of need for additional time off for personal or family reasons. There's a focus on employee recognition, although a lot of the time it seems like management hands out recognition awards because they have a quota to fill.

Cons

There's not really any room for advancement. Managers move between different operational areas all the time, which means that they often have little understanding of or expertise in the areas they're managing. There's two classes of employees: managers, and the rank-and-file. The theory seems to be that rank and file is completely interchangeable with other rank-and-file, and managers are interchangeable with other managers. If you're rank and file, don't bring your brain to work.

Pros

If you have a good branch manager, it can be a a great job. It wont matter if your district/regional managers are incompetent. Good room for promotion if you meet the sales goals, paid time off covers dependents sickness, Competitive salary when compared to other banks.

Cons

Company does not know how to handle a weak market. Sales goals contiune to rise (150% of goal) when compared to last year. Micromanaging increasing as 2 new checking accounts per banker per day is still a requirement even though tough opening restictions turn away all those that may have had single overdrafts at other banks or a CREDIT (not bank) history challenges when the nation is a financial regression. Cash balance plan (incentive retirement plan) that was a competitive advantage over other banks has now been taken away, rewards and bonus have been restricted because of bad publicity.
