Vantaggi
Pay is fair, and they give great consideration to work experience in lieu of a completed formal education. Upper Management tries to be available and supportive of growth measures in the branches.
Svantaggi
I've been gone for 2 years now, and from what I understand, there have been changes for the better. But, during my employment, the sales goals and treatment for smaller branches in rural and suburban areas was really rough, nearly impossible to attain. Bonus scales looked great on paper, but couldn't be reached, even for the most competitive over-achievers. Products and services were not as attractive as competitors. Changes from Upper Level Management were constantly being implemented without careful consideration or preparation. It was always painfully obvious how quickly and whimsically decisions were made, and the front line at the branches constantly looked like the fools, and had to take a lot of abuse from disgruntled customers over it.
