Your experience will depend on the type and location of your branch. - Anonymous employee Fifth Third Employee Review

You are completely disposable (which is pretty true for almost anywhere these days). If your branch is planning to restructure, they will go out of their way to find some honest mistake or procedural oversight that you (and most likely everyone else has made at one time or another) have made in order to fire you "for cause" and avoid having to shell out any unemployment compensation. I have seen this happen to employees who performed well, were dependable and cooperative, and who showed potential for future advancement. No matter what may be said to the contrary, increasing profits is much more important than treating people fairly. This is true in regard to both employees and customers. I could give a very specific example that would shed a great deal of light on this, but I will refrain. I don't feel like the "profits over people" assertion is any less true for other banks. I really do not see this bank as any worse or better than other major banking institutions. I have no vendetta against this company. I am only giving my insight and opinion so that I will be able to view complete reviews for another business. I just figure that if I'm going to be required to put forth the effort to submit a review, I might as well give an honest one.
