Pros

Flexible hours. A good start in the banking industry. A good start in sales and cross selling for future bank jobs.

Cons

Pay is a joke. HR's policy on any issue is firing everyone involved rather then resolving the issue. Management is extremely greedy and only cares about accounts and not the customer. Poor training making the employs look like idiots when in reality they were never properly trained. Incentive is not based on personal performance but a set rate in which only branch managers get a decent amount regardless of their performance. Quota's are extremely difficult to hit and you must annoy customers in the produce aisle of Jewel Osco to open new accounts.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote within. Nothing is more humiliating then hearing an assistant manager or even branch manager say "I dont know how to do this, I'm new." Promote a better image for the bank.
