Pros

- Located in one of the nicest office buildings in downtown - Flexible schedule and culture - Likely you will experience little to no supervision - Good work/life balance - Everyone pretends they care

Cons

- You may work hard and not advance very far only to see others as exceptions to this rule. I assure you those folks are tied to a E/C/VP/SVP (daughter, friends kid, college buddy, former colleague). - The company tells employees to strive for "customer" excellence which is ironic to their whole business model. It is not a company goal at the end of the day. - Those who leave are never backfilled. You are expected to pick up the slack. - No direction. You may find the boys club at the YMCA playing basketball. - Leadership is a tight knit network of people who have been buddies for a long time. They only hire people they know. This is how they retain their six figure salaries doing little to no work.

Pros

Staff is generally friendly, very busy environment and days go by fast. Benefits are not half bad if your just covering yourself. Very flexible for the most part, but all depends who your report too.

Cons

Lacks good leadership, to many changes at once no stability with IT systems. To many unqualified people doing the work of many while managers sit behind closed doors. just make sure you keep your skills updated on your resume , when your voice of reason tells you it's time to move on, listen to that voice, it will be the best choice you ever made.

Pros

Good Pay and Benefits, the program is very good as well for any qualified clients. Management rating depends not eh branch as you are working for a branch manager and a District Executive which could be a crap shoot.

Cons

A lot of employees do not understand the program or how it works. The investment side of the bank is in complete chaos. Financial Consultants leave after a year or so. Investments are a major part of your business and clients are loath to trust you with their investments because of high turnover at FC position and at branch.
