Vantaggi
Excellent training and advancement opportunities. Among branch staff there is always opportunity for promotion and advancement. Pay is lower than competitors, but the benefits are better. Strong brand. Company has recently (last ~5 years) gotten better about balancing profit with customer service. Banker's hours are fantastic.
Svantaggi
Pay is problematic; base salary is stagnant and commission structure frequently changes (sometimes up to 2x annually). Frequent changes in company policies (legal reqs, efficiency, etc.) are often burdensome. Cost-cutting measures have left many branches understaffed, and job roles result in Personal Bankers missing out on many commission opportunities. Sales culture occasionally leads to toxic work environment--top sales performers carry more weight with management than *actual* managers.
