Pros

SunTrust is a good place to start a banking career. You can actually learn alot careerwise and get entry-level experience relatively easily. Most positions are either at SunTrust Plaza or SunTrust Tower, so it is centrally located in the city of Atlanta (downtown).

Cons

There are opportunities within SunTrust however successful advancement depends upon being within certain product division groups. Each department seems to take on the personality of the VP and all managers reporting to said VP. It is very easy to get pigeonholed into one area, at that point it is somewhat difficult to move over to another division. SunTrust is also very conservative salary wise, salary increases have always been difficult to come by. Get you money when you come in the door!

Advice to Senior Management

Be more receptive to the voice of the associates.
