Pros

Lower level employees tend to be really great, and nice to work with.

Cons

Too much responsibility for the pay. Management is very hard to work with/for. They're snakes. Nothing is confidential. If you say something about a manager to anyone else, they will find out and it will create animosity. Favoritism runs rampant here. If you aren't a favorite, you will not succeed. Bonuses aren't as amazing as they say they are. (maybe $1k before taxes) Referrals are not fair. If someone gets close to qualifying for something, they will spin it to be theirs. If you are a PBI, you will be a teller 75%+ of the time. You also can't switch positions whatsoever for 1 year+.

Pros

Great for entry level experience, my coworkers on my team were great, my direct manager was amazing great friends with her

Cons

This job paid awfully, I was having to pay for things on my credit card because between rent and my student loans I didn't make enough to afford the city, there is no advancement opportunities if you're great at your job. They would rather keep you at your current position than promote you because you'd be hard to replace. Senior leadership needs to seriously reconsider their actions if they want to keep people long term.
