Overworked and underpaid - Recensione dipendente - Banker presso Fifth Third

Ignore the recent "positive" reviews giving 4-5 stars - most likely corporate PR, as most branch employees aren't happy and are stressed out. Extremely understaffed (always), as that's the bank's business practice. Excessively competitive amongst coworkers (cuthroat), as a high pressure sales culture. Bank preaches customer service, but really only cares about revenue. No work/life balance as branch employees work 2 Saturdays per month. Pay doesn't come close to required work level or cost of living in most areas. Benefits too expensive. Sales quotas pushed hard but banker commissions are barely $2K/year. Micromanagement and no individuality allowed. Unfriendly work culture that management ignores. ADVICE: Work somewhere else!
