Pros

Banking experience, cash handling experience

Cons

Expected to work 6 days a week, every week, you work during business hours so have fun making plans or appointments on any day except Sunday. All of IBC at the moment is criminaly understaffed, so you will be doing at times the work of two to three people. The reasons for their being understaffed were made abundantly clear to me based not just off of the abysmal pay (starting 9.25 an hour, could make more at Dairy Queen for goodness sakes) but by the utterly lacking management or at the very clearly stated in the company's "10 comandments" that they owe you nothing for your hard work or commitment if you arnt lining their pocketbooks basically. I work with people who have been with the company for 10+ years who are miserable and overworked with nothing to show for it. My bank manager doesn't even have the actual title of bank manager despite running 3 locations for IBC, I'm assuming because they didn't want to be legally required to give a raise along with the official promotion. This is a typical soulless corporation who could care less about the people they have working for them as long as they can still make money and it shows. Needless to say after working here only a month I am already seeking work elsewhere despite going into the job delighted to enter the banking field only to be bombarded with unprofessional and downright ridiculous workplace issues that should be left to fast food and retail, not banking where you are handling people's life savings and livelihoods. Wouldn't even want to have an account at this bank after this experience let alone dedicate my energy or years of my life working for them.

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).
