Pros

Good starting pay, 7% 401k match, nice amount of PTO. Health and wellness program to earn additional pay each year. 11 paid holidays annually. Flexibility if outside retail/branch banking.

Cons

Tenure is not rewarded, and is consistently being penalized with changes to benefit newer employees. Annual merit increases are minimal, do not keep up with inflation or differentiate between high and low performers. Incentive program has become abysmal, not worth the effort and largely beyond control. CEO openly states to make more money you need to be promoted, which can be difficult with little opportunity in more rural areas. Retail employees are treated much worse than other lines of business in nearly every way, such as pay, goals, job expectations, and micromanagement. Turnover is high.

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.
