Pros
Work life balance is good. Benefits are good. I am left to manage myself which I enjoy. No micro management in my office. Though I have heard otherwise in other branches. The banking industry is changing as a whole which is not necessarily a pro. It is beginning to make a shift towards more bottom line intense production and getting away from being the "friendly Banker".
Kontras
The sales pressure is a bit intense. I have been here 11 months and after my first full quarter I was placed on a Performance Improvement Plan with heavy insinuation of termination of employment. My family depends heavily on my support so the stressful environment makes matters worse. The changes in the industry are causing me to look elsewhere for employment so that I can better manage stress.
