Vantaggi
For getting started out in the financial services industry, it offers a great training program and environment to quickly learn in. You experience 4-8 weeks of training and then the rest is on the job training or more like "learn as you go" Also, the benefits package is one of the best that I have seen and the 401K match is very nice. It's a multicultural company with people from many different ethnic backgrounds.
Svantaggi
Your schedule is basically 6 days a week because of the extended hours. The sales goals are ridiculous. It's nearly impossible to achieve your bonuses and that is even with working very hard every single day for a quarter straight. If you are lucky enough to reach your bonus, it's very small and not worth the effort. In smaller cities, the opportunity for growth is limited with the main positions being, teller, banker, store manager. If you're in the bigger cities there are more opportunities. The pay is average compared with other banking jobs but it's hard to get raises and promotions and I've seen people get promoted because they had high sales numbers when that was only because the banker was "gaming" and doing things unethically but then got promoted.
