Pros

The large majority of people you work with are good people. You will develop good relationships with people you work with and some customers. Benefits are reasonable. Everyone truly wants you to succeed. Offers plenty of learning and betterment opportunities.

Cons

The banking industry is still recovering from the 07-08 crisis and trying to find their way. As a result many customers have a very cautious and sometimes hateful outlook toward banks in general and it is expressed to the employees. This is sales no doubt about it. Your goal is to provide as many "services" to each person that comes in the door. The goals to meet are unreasonable. Pay is subpar for the time, responsibilities, and expectations. Branches are understaffed so the result is a feeling of being overwhelmed with no time to meet the goals for your position.

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.
