Pros

Competitive products, ease of processing credit restructures. Difficult to express many positive facets to this company

Cons

Salary below competitive, sales quota pressure and encouraged tactics were unethical, negative working environment, dated/non-functional hardware/software/procedures/policies, expected to stay long hours and come in early, health and medical benefits were both more expensive and less comprehensive than competitor banks I have worked for. Unattainable sales goals means for diminished bonus potential.
