Pros

Fair overall. Ethical. Balanced. Good place to spend some time in a career. Acknowledges need for work-life balance and makes a lot of effort to retain solid folks over the longer haul when possible. Good benefits and training offered throughout the company.

Cons

Some challenges in moving around once you get beyond 5 years or so for most. Some promotions can be very biased. Tendency to tolerate less-capable people managers in some areas. In corp jobs, analysts and consultants masquerade as leaders. Finance is a power function. Sales versus marketing-driven. Technology is uneven - some divisions have better tools than others. Behind the times in computerized systems for retail branch use.

Pros

The culture is wonderful compared to other banks I have worked at. The culture is slowly changing to align with other banks but even with that it is the bank I have enjoyed the most in 20 years in the industry

Cons

Spread out a lot and certain locations are closing or bound to close down depending on the area of bank. To be safe seek a role in one of the larger hubs like Charlotte.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
