Vantaggi
Associated Bank seems to promote from within quite frequently. They have good benefits such as a 410k match (~4.5%) as well as a pension. In-store bankers (grocery store locations) have a quicker opportunity to advancement as they can move up to be Assistant Managers, which the stand alone locations don't offer.
Svantaggi
In-store relationship bankers get shafted until they are promoted. The hours working in the grocery store location is hardly ideal (Holidays, Sundays, and open till 7pm during the week). Expect to earn less money than the bankers at the traditional branches too. It is next to impossible for the grocery store bankers to reach goals and thus earn any commission (Currently there are only ~2 in-store bankers in the entire company that reach monthly incentives compared to almost 50% of all traditional bankers). And don't expect to be able to transfer to a traditional branch. Unless you are one of the two in-store bankers in the company that meet the arbitrary incentive goal they won't allow you to transfer if you can't meet your monthly incentive goals.
