Pros

Plenty of camaraderie amongst staff. Synergy between tellers and bankers/RM's for leads and sales. BSM always had our backs. Branch manager was an actual leader.

Cons

Company politics put a damper on overall operations. So-called discretionary bonuses left too much open to interpretation thus leading to apparent unfair bonuses. Higher ups paid little attention to suggestions from staff even when presented on 30+ page business reports with various contributions and detailed executive summaries.
