Pros

Most of the people you work with are very nice and hard working. You have opportunity to move up.

Cons

Please do not come here to work. The company is based out of Laredo, where labor is very cheap. They carry this mindset to the rest of the company and pay below the par salary wise. The company will do anything to save a penny even if it is to the employee or customer's expense. The staff will try and bully you into donating money to charities they are associated with. Not only that, but if you are promoted within then you are promoted only in responsibilities and roles but not in salary. There are little policies outlined to protect you, the employee. You also must take your vacation (which seems to be less than the industry standard,) all at once-- no splitting up.

Pros

IBC offers a fun, low stress environment. Management gets along well with frontline employees and always has celebrations for employees.

Cons

Could be low pay but it’s an entry level job and gives you the opportunity to move up.

Pros

You could make really good friends....

Cons

GARBAGE pay for such a high-responsibility position. You’re doing way more than a regular teller, but the compensation does not reflect the workload at all. They advertise “competitive pay,” but every other bank in my area starts on average $4–$5 higher. The only “extra” compensation is micro bonuses for CC referrals, account openings (SALES ONLY — $7 per MAX POINT account), and JDP surveys, ranging from $25–$35 per successful one—good luck consistently hitting those. Be ready for long lines, nonstop pressure, and constant feedback about metrics and performance. It’s a high-stress environment that does not match the pay level. Once you’re cross-trained, expect to be doing the work of both a teller and a sales role while receiving none of the benefits of the sales point system that is supposedly used to justify the structure. Use this job as a stepping stone into banking, but don’t treat it as a long-term option—it’s not worth the stress. Across the industry and even locally, compensation is noticeably higher for similar or even less demanding roles. There’s no real rush or clear structure for advancement, but at least with the periodic mass layoffs used to cut costs and reset staffing back to lower pay levels, there’s technically opportunity to move up during turnover… (you still might be the one getting let go anyway).
