Pros

My first real job post-college. Started off with 3 weeks PTO and a week of sick time which is really good. The salary is decent but definitely has room for improvement. You get to interact with some cool people and see how people spend and save their money. Most people don't know a lot about personal finance and this job teaches you a lot about that!

Cons

All the retail branches are understaffed because banker retention isn't so high. Working retail you get pooped on by all the cooperate people above you. Seems like there is always a document missing or something that's urgent, but when retail has something urgent we don't have that same support/level of urgency. The landscape is constantly changing and you have to adapt extremely quickly. The company is so large that to get one thing done you have to get in contact with 20 people to get a fee waived essentially lol.

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.
