Pros

Not too stressful of a job, you pretty much get to do your own thing if you keep branch running smooth. Work life balance is great as we are closed weekends.

Cons

Biggest con? pay! It is awful, I have worked over 8 years and make less then $15 an hour. The world is expected of us, but we don't get compensated correctly.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
