Vantaggi
Less of those bank horror stories. Tellers have an easy job, made even better by implementing scanners at each window. (Scan check, print receipt, you're done). Cookies on Fridays. Most coworkers are great.
Svantaggi
No longer offering direct deposit to non-Associated Bank accounts :(. Closed sales are seemingly impossible (right now we have 30 referrals, none of which have closed). Too many e-mails! Turnover seems to be a problem, particularly at my branch. "Check-ins" or "chats." A 1 on 1 weekly meeting with your manager on how your doing. Also, teller huddles with a banker, which may happen up to 5 days a week. Performance reviews monthly, observations weekly, I think you get the point here. It may just be my branch, but I feel completely suffocated by these things, and I get very tired of seeing my manager's face by the end of the week.
