Pros

good co-workers, benefits (you'll never get time off to use them tho)

Cons

Don't get me wrong, paid sick days are good, but if your 5 min or more late, don't even bother going in, it will count as one of your sick days. You have specific goals that seem unattainable. You try and try to meet specific requirements just to find out they disapprove of something else now. I felt like I was walking on thin ice the entire time I worked there. My training class had 20 people in it, when i left after working there for over a year, there were only 2 people remaining from my class, and its not because they moved up in the company. They just have unrealistic goals and standards. One example would be one of my fellow co-workers, her child got sick and she was forced to call in for 2 days straight. She had already used all her sick days, so instead of letting her take unpaid day off, she got fired, for staying home with her sick kid. They are just another corporate monster with no feeling or sympathy to others. This was at the call center, the branch might be different but I doubt the corporate aspect of a branch is any less forgiving.

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.
