Pros

This bank is very counter cultural compared to other banks. I have been in branch sales here for 1.5 years and I have never been asked to make cold calls, have a call night, or act outside of moral guidelines. This bank does not offer bonuses or commission on sales of deposit or credit products but do pay a slightly higher wage because of it. They do promote from within for driven individuals (I have been promoted twice in my time here).

Cons

Because this bank does not thrive on a competitive atmosphere, you will be bored some days. But honestly it is worth being bored so that the burn out rate is lower.

Pros

Great opportunity for learning and growth, and many people in the organization to learn from who are willing to help.

Cons

Over saturation of the market and unrealistic sales goals that are always changing make it difficult to set down stakes for the customers and team. Unlimited PTO leaves many managers picking up slack for multiple branches where other managers are rarely there, even when managers and team members out on medical leave.
