Vantaggi

You got the holidays off and paid The coworkers are friendly The hours are overall pretty nice Overall friendly environment

Svantaggi

The pay is definitely on the lower end for this line of work. Also when you interview they will tell you that you don't do cold calls, but you will quickly find that this is not true. Cold calls are actually required of you. They try to spin it off by saying that you are only contacting people about products which would benefit them but this is only sometimes the case. You have specific sales goals for things like new checking accounts and loans, so you will often find yourself calling on things like loans which people don't need. First merchants obviously doesn't have a good grasp on what a cold call is.

Vantaggi

You get all holidays off and paid.

Svantaggi

This company does not prioritize its employees or its branches only money and sales. New hires receive minimal training and are immediately thrown into work on outdated systems from the 90s, none of which communicate with each other. It creates unnecessary stress and sets employees up to fail. They also do not pay employees for the time spent opening the branch in the morning; pay does not start until all opening procedures are completed. Every other bank pays for this time, and this practice feels both unfair and exploitative. HR can be extremely difficult to deal with. If you end up on their bad side, they may manipulate your schedule or misrepresent your hours. This environment does not feel safe or supportive. Overall, this company allows branches and customers to suffer due to poor management and prioritizing their own interests over basic employee welfare. Based on what I’ve seen, I’m genuinely surprised this bank is still operating the way it does.
