Pros

if you get yourself into a successful branch, you will be very happy if you are willing to learn a good manager will help you used to have great benefits

Cons

some managers will forever prefer to hire someone from the outside and pay THEM more, than to train you. You will never get a real chance to get a promotion. IF YOU DO get a promotion into a much higher position with higher goals can only pay you x amount more.... an outside hire with no banking experience will start off with higher pay. pathetic. ALSO : if you go into a branch with older managers that used to work at GARANTY bank , they sometimes are still NOT able to adapt to change, and this is a bank that wants to become fully electronic. So that can sometimes be a problem.

Pros

The Bank is large enough to gain experience with complicated deal structures. Lots of resources to complete a thorough underwriting.

Cons

Company culture was undefined and confusing due to many mergers and acquisitions of other smaller banks during the "Great Recession". Middle managers were able to get away with treating employees however they wanted without much oversight from higher executives. Lots of turnover.
