Pros

Good place to work if you are prepared to accept a modest pay package while towing the corporate line - not uncommon to large financial institutions. If so desired, one could spend many years in low level management branch level positions.

Cons

Managers at the branch level have interest in holding back the careers of employees to stem the flow of turnover. Stories of employees being asked to sign "contracts" to the effect that they will not pursue other positions in the bank for a number of years have been heard of.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
