Pros

it's pay better than other competitior (banks) in the same position as personal banker. such as bank of america, wahington mutual, wells fargo bank. The base salary is almost the same, starting out 40k dollars. but then the commission is monthly. which give an opportunity for personal banker to get pay every month.

Cons

The managers and co-workers at some location are very up-tight, not very helpful for new employees. The training provide by the company isn't that great, but able to survivie. On the job support from management is ZERO. The managers will yell at you if you make a mistake, don't let you go to lunch, break.

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
