Pros

The only reason I can think to work for this company is the benefits package. They offer everything under the sun and most is pretty affordable.

Cons

The thing you have to keep in mind going to work as a "banker" is that you're not a "banker". Goals are so high that ethics has long since left and the company is being absolutely robbed by its employees. Management could care less about those that are cheating the system because they just want to keep their jobs. The bank doesn't care about its employees or especially its customers. Employees are pressured to push things that people don't need based on whatever flavor of the week that management wants to look good about. The environment is so stressful and micromanaged that many employees are having health issues, and management does not care, they just push harder. When the economy gets better the turnover will be astronomical as I don't know of a happy co-worker....anywhere.

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!
