Prós
Pros:
• Great coworkers who foster a supportive team environment.

Contras
Cons:
• High levels of sales pressure, which can be overwhelming at times.
• Concerns about management, particularly after the hiring of former Bank of America leadership; implementation of their sales culture.
• Recent changes to branch names (now referred to as Financial Banking Centers) suggest a shift towards Bank of America's practices.
• Many branch managers are on performance improvement plans and face pressure to meet 100% of their goals weekly, leading to a stressful work environment.
