Pros

One of the benefits is an amazing health care package, free financial help, free accounts and benefits and a fast growing company! Their goal is to be the number one bank in the US in the next 5 years. It's a big company with a small bank feel. Clients are loyal and you see the same people very often so relationship building is great.

Cons

It is not just challenging to work at Compass. The requirements for Branch Associates (tellers) is very high. Not only do you have to give 100% customer service, but your sales goals and expectations are high. You will have to deal with large amounts of cash, fast paced work, and a lot of computer knowledge and speed/accuracy. Also, you will have to learn a lot of operations (back work), rules and regulations, government acts and regulations, and a code of conduct. There is no room for error when dealing with people's financial well-being. You will need to be able to keep confidential information and be very professional. Things like account maintenance, ordering for vaults, having 10+ keys to be responsible for at all times, knowing vault codes, memorizing at least 15 computer passwords, etc is normal. The stress level is very high, especially for the speed of which you have to get things done.

companiy is genuinely committed to its customers and employees salary is good once at manager level company is growing

Cons

stuck in the dark ages in terms of technology and the amount of paperwork involved in everything computers are so slow that productivity is limited to 50% of what it could be reporting is somewhat unreliable as it is all done by hand - no automation

Pros

Mobility with in the company is quite possible if you have a supportive manager. Non-sales positions may have a better work environment. Very badly needed computer system upgrade is in place since I left.

Cons

A lot of Micromanaging to the point where it creates a serious constraint in work flow. Day to day activities become hard to accomplish for all the various and required methods of reporting to management. Sales pressure gives you more of the stick than the carrot. The comission for various sales is so low as to not be much of an incentive. It was $1 for a checking account when I was there and the computer system was SLOW. Business model was too reliant on NSF's creating a lot of unhappy customers also.
