Pros

Any company that has benefits is a plus when you have a family. Some of your co-workers are fun to work with. Make good friends with customers.

Cons

Sales expectations are too high!!!!! the compensation for being the top sales person is not worth the agrevation and headaches. There are conference calls three times a day with the District Manager to see if you are selling. If not they call you out and put stress on the manager in turn the manager goes crazy and makes for an unpleasant atmosphere. The manager consistantly pressures you for sales until the day is over. If you don't open new accounts everyday, you will be fired. Not enough compensation to put up with the BS!!!!

Pros

-Looks good for your resume. Your put in situations where you handle confidential information as well as trusted to handle thousands of dollars. -Scheduling is pretty good. For a Retail position its nice that you dont have to close up shop at 11pm at nights. -Good Benifits. Often there are dentists and optomitrists who do deposits and become known to each stores. You can sometimes use your benifits with them and they'll offer additional discount because you know them. -Hourly Pay is pretty good for an entry retail position. Plus you get additional bonuses and commission.

Cons

-Customers randomly get asked a survey. The survey questions are geared towards you personally but are affected by the stores as a whole. (Example: They score you on 1-5 on how long the wait is. If other tellers are slow and you end up getting that customer who has waited a few minutes to get helped.) -Often forced to attend meetings at other branches. Travel time doesn't get paid for, gas doesn't get reimbursed, and if the meeting is usually handled during overtime hours you wont get paid for overtime. -Often get yelled at by a customer whos at fault for their own mishaps. (Example: Person not keeping track of their checking account and believing the bank is stealing their money.) -As a teller you often get pressured by the bankers to help provide them with sales. This provides a lot of drama within each branch. (Example: Helping one banker more often than others.)

Pros

Great opportunities for career advancement. I have talked to many employees who started out as a teller and 4 or 5 years later are now working in Management positions or in other higher paying positions like Regional Private Banker, etc.

Cons

Can be micromanaging, but this depends more on who your direct supervisor is. The same can be said for most companies.
