Pros

+Coworkers are great and everyone in the office works hard +large company so there's some security +processes are established so you just do things their way. +pay and benefits aren't the best compared to other banks but still solid.

Cons

-long hours, easily 50-60+ hour work weeks, no time for social life. There have been times where people have worked through the night! -low morale. It feels like they're just using us up and waiting for us to burnout. A coworker said the best part about the job is it's better than working at the branch. Another said they were feeling guilty because they had to decide whether to work, sleep, or spend time with family. -work is unrelenting and assignments aren't flexible -stuck at desk most of the day. -investigators at other offices don't seem to be as thorough

Pros

Great training that will help you go far in banking

Cons

Lots of discrimination and favoritism. Lots of sexually harrassment known by management. Men make bets on which new hire they can take down first. Again management is aware of this. Have to kiss butt or be personal friends to get a chance regardless of your work ethic. Pressure to sale to customers but they like to call it financial help to avoid getting in trouble by the government. Management will try to fire you if you get on their nerves or challenge them. New hires get paid more than workers who been there for years. You wont get more than $.50 cent raise a year regardless of how good performance is. Customers tend to survey the bank when they get asked to do survey on reps and even when managers listens to call and find rep did a great job the rep will still get disciplined. This will result in a bad performance metrix. Get in trouble for going to the restroom to much. Not enough time to pump if breastfeeding. A lot of people scared to speak up on serious issues due to not being considered for promotion or being treated unfairly.
