Vantaggi
Excellent 401(k) option and stock buying program. Good health benefits and employee banking benefits. Fifth Third Bank will also pay for you to become licensed in securities and insurance with is a huge advantage in the financial industry and will be a great stepping stone to achieve a better position. Overall good entry level, professional sales and finance job that can be a good foundation to career advancement.
Svantaggi
Really high turnover rate in tellers, branch managers and bankers. The sales goals are pretty difficult to consistently achieve which creates a lot of pressure. Fairly low starting salary. I was in mid-Michigan and able to negotiate a starting pay of $36,000. Their original offer was $30,000. I then negotiated a 7% increase upon achieving my health/life insurance licenses which would have been a licensed personal banker position. I already had my Series 7 and 66.
