Pros

A great stepping stone. You’ll learn a lot about big banks. There’s plenty of security guards between you and outside. I felt safe from livid customers.

Cons

I worked in an operations building. Stale and boring environment. Fifth Third thinks ramming 50 families in your pipeline and hoping some people get a loan is good customer service. $400 from each family is what Fifth Third takes for a loan application and then completely abandons the customer. Most customers become furious and withdraw their application. Fifth Third keeps the application fee. The customer doesn’t get a loan, the loan officer doesn’t get paid, and Fifth Third pockets $400. Lots of ethical issues here. Just a matter of time before someone speaks up. Oops.

Pros

Good work environment. Management can be good depending on your branch. Can make lots of close friends.

Cons

Very sales-focused. Does not matter if customer does not qualify for credit cards, loan, etc., you have to put the application in to meet quota. And the occasional rude customer.
