Pros

I had decent coworkers at my branch but that was it.

Cons

Stupidly high sales goals, care more about sales than customer service. Upper management hounds you for the tiniest things, there's zero communication and staffing is awful. Extremely high turnover rate and everyone I've ever know who's worked there or currently works there absolutely hates it. They can't keep employees because they're treated like garbage and it's so obvious within a month of being there how bad it really is because even customers hate the institution and complain about pointless fees. I would never, ever recommend this company to anyone as a customer or employee.
