Pros

Great hours, no Saturday's, off by five every day except every other Friday off at 6. Employees are given a lot more responsibility per job role, as branches are often times less busy than some of the bigger banks. Some people don't like that, but it's all out of laziness-- I appreciate it because I get more experience, do different things all the time, so it keeps things different each day rather than redundant days and weeks.

Cons

The base pay is less than some other banks depending on your position. But you can (theoretically) earn up to 50% of your salary in commission. You won't actually get that much, but you can earn quite a bit in commission if you and your branch works hard.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
