Pros

Benefits are pretty good. Compensation is competitive.

Cons

I’ve been working at the bank awhile and each year they have gone through some round of layoffs. This year (following the tax cuts) they’ve gone through their biggest yet. Most of the people let go were in corporate positions - Marketing, IT, Commercial, Analytics...you name it and somebody was let go. They’ve let go highly tenured employees, recent less than 1 year graduates, and high performers. These layoffs have been going on for the past 3-4 months. They spread the news out so it stays out of the public news. Employees still at the bank are unhappy and I’ve heard from many that they are stressed b/c of the lack of job security.

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

The training is very thorough and extensive. They take security seriously. You are supported when you’re a new hire. There are ways to be involved and feel included in the company. Information is readily available to help you.

Cons

It is a job that can lead to a lot of stress. It can be very fast paced. There are a lot of policies, procedures and information to remember. Should have proficient computer skills to be successful with this position..
