Fifth Third Reviews

Pros

You get all the bank holidays and they have a very good paid time off policy.

Cons

I had 4 mangers in the short time I worked there. Every single one of them in their quest to climb the corporate ladder would lie and throw you under the bus to benefit them. Most of the mangement is highly unprofessional and will not even speak to you. The pay is low and they are constatnly changing their policy. They like to hire from outside instead of hiring or promoting from within. Most mid-level managment seems threatned by anyone that has a higher level of educaiton than them.

Pros

Flexibility in my work schedule and the people I work with is very rewarding. I have worked there over 5 years and have enjoyed it for the most part. They do listen to my concerns and try to work with us on them.

Cons

Pay has been cut dramatically in the commissions which was due to some Gov't regulatory changes, but they could have re-structured our pay to make up for it, but choose not to because they knew they had us by the youknowwhats!

Advice to Senior Management

You will continue to lose good talent unless you re-evaluate the commission pay structure of the Outside MLO's. I have lost at least 30% of my pay due to the changes and we are grossly underpaid right now.

Pros

Great job out of school to learn a lot.

Does not always value experienced employees

Advice to Senior Management
