Not what I expected leaving a larger bank for this one - Financial Center Manager Fifth Third Employee Review

Pros

As an FCM (branch manager) the benefits Fifth Third offers are very competitive with much larger banks. Salary is about the same as larger banks.

Cons

As they continue to outsource departments, close branches or convert them to "Banks of the future" staffing model continues to drop in brick and mortar. Building maintenance is not good at all. Takes forever for anything to get fixed, with very little expenditure on facility. Equipment and processes are outdated and extremely inefficient. Incentive plans become harder to achieve and payouts slowly declining. Most importantly, as they continue to cut staffing in branches, the manager gets to wear additional hats each year. Can be very overwhelming to complete all tasks, trackers, reports, forms etc. With all the busy work, it makes it nearly impossible to schedule daily time with team members, actually coaching them and helping them attain team goals.

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.
