Pros

FSR hired are often don't know what they are doing, high school or college education mostly so definitely less competitive with in the branch. great for your first job with the bank, definitely look for a second bank once you get the experience.

Cons

their culture value is sell everything. give client account more than they need.... what else a bank can offer... products and services.... they push you weekly for sales when 50% of the staff doesn't meet their target, but base salary everyone is pretty much the same... you expect your $500 dollar bonus... don't expect any career advicement. you look for an advancement elsewhere.

Pros

good visibility, good work/life balance (got lucky and am in a good team)

Cons

little to no upward momentum. not enough of a structure to support long term employees with competitive market rates.
