Pros

Fantastic Leadership. Fantastic Growth Opportunity.

Cons

Poor compensation package/base pay compared to other local financial institutions. This particular position's commission is only paid if entire team/branch hits their goals which is not the case for all other branch positions. This creates an environment where this position is bearing the heaviest workload while the others have no incentive to contribute to the teammates around them. Which makes it near impossible to get paid any sort of commission as a PB I on top of an already poor salary. Also, internal promotion raises are LOW, Microscopic.

Pros

Great team environment, perfect entry level career for anyone in college pursuing a role in finance.

Cons

Fifth Third Bank has been undergoing significant changes on its staffing as some regions currently have seen a lot of upward momentum in promotions and hiring for internal roles. Expect there to be a brief period of short staffing, depending on the branch you are hired for.

Pros

Decent benefits, reliable, friendly team but that’s branch specific

Cons

FIX YOUR STAFFING ISSUES!!! You all emphasize work life balance but have us working 6 days a week. If you don’t live in OH, your career opportunities are practically nonexistent. Also- close at 5 on Fridays like a normal bank.
