Pros

Good pay, low stress, good benefits.

Cons

Horrible red tape even to perform routine tasks. Poor documentation. The hardest part of the job is always finding out who is responsible for a specific function. Now they want us to pull up stakes and move for no reason, when it has been proven that remote work is valid. Close low usage offices, but don't expect people to move across the country because you don't like remote work.

Pros

Great company to build experience and grow professionally. The benefits and PTO were excellent, and there were many opportunities for career development and internal growth. I learned a lot during my time there, especially in operations, customer service, and working in a fast-paced environment. Management was supportive and often acted more like career coaches, encouraging employees to develop new skills and move forward in their careers. I also built strong friendships and professional connections that I still value today.

Cons

The role could be demanding because Operations Managers often had responsibilities across multiple areas of the branch. At times, it felt like being the bridge between upper management, bankers, tellers, and customers all at once. In addition to management responsibilities, I was also expected to assist on the teller line, maintain a cash drawer, and help resolve escalated customer concerns. The workload could occasionally feel heavy for one person, especially in busy branches.

Pros

Benefits (but cost creeping up and coverage creeping down each year), Good Morale Both Management and Coworkers, and Honestly a Great Company.

Cons

Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month. Expectation for customers to say yes to cross selling, leaving you with no real control of your job security. Stress!
