Pros

They do not drug test.

Cons

Where do I begin? First, the pay is very low and uncompetitive. I started at $8.74/hr and after one year was making $9.74/hr. The expectations are high: You must open 2-4 new accounts per month; provide very fast and polite customer service, offer credit cards, offer other services, get to know the customer, and tell them about a possible survey, as well as asking them to donate to the current charity. However, there are referral incentives available to pay you money, but they don't tell you how hard they are to come by and get approved. You are constantly encouraged to work outside of work, because everyday that you are not at your sales quota, management IS DOWN YOUR THROAT. Another thing, management across branches and markets is very inconsistent. Every branch manager has their own specific way of doing things, and it often blurs the lines of policy and what should actually be happening. VERY BEHIND ON TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION; most of the time, the ATMs are malfunctioning (and most do not accept deposits); The mobile app has limited functions and is very unsophisticated. Employees are encouraged to move up, but with little incentive. A $0.30 raise is offered to lead tellers, with a huge heap of responsibilities. Lastly, there is major favoritism in management and several very rude employees. I used to have problems with multiple employees ignoring me or berating me when I would ask questions.

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).
