Pros

Good amount of time off Benefits avaiale for part time workers Closed major holidays Generous Tuition policy

Cons

Each branch is different. Some do not have a lot of work/life balance and some do. New hires sometimes make more money than those who have been around awhile. Employees are told no raise but some secretly get them-most do not. Everyone in the branch who is not on the teller line thinks they are in charge of the tellers which makes for a divided workplace. Sales are VERY important. Without them no raises and no advancment.
