Pros

Great co-workers/management (for the most part), friendly clients, very local client base

Cons

Pay is not on par with other banks (granted it is a smaller bank), very antiquated software system on both the teller line and platform (tellers still use adding machines from the 90's where as other banks simply input cash in/out to the computer), no room for promotion or transfer unless you have the ins with HR, most branches are short staffed yet will not make part-timers full-time even if they request it

Pros

- Very good learning experience - Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful people in the office

Cons

The Chicago office is a commercial site, so all other interns for the bank sit in either New Jersey, New York, or Florida. Not necessarily a bad thing because it helped form better connections with everyone in the office, but networking with other interns was more difficult.

Pros

Not one thing is good. Do not work here

Cons

Retail is a nightmare. Senior Management is clueless. Lots of older managers being “laid off” due to position being eliminated. But positions not eliminated.
