Maybe if you work yourself to the bone and don't mind micro-managment, you will prosper here. - Intern and Teller Fifth Third Employee Review

Pros

When working at Fifth Third, you may be recognized as working for a well-known, possibly well-respected company in the cincinnati area. That is, to people who have never worked at Fifth Third before.

Cons

Typical banking cultural - ultra conservative and very stifling. As a teller, be prepared to get grief if you ever need any time off. You will also be treated as a peon. Micro-managment - it is as if your are apart of some initiation ritual where you treat everyone below you in the bureaucratic hierarchy as poorly as possible. Sales is everything - regardless of your position you are expected to sell, sell, sell. Management is never satisfied with the numbers and always expects you to do better than the year before.

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.
