Pros

Many dedicated and hard-working people. Many want to do the right thing.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy. The senior management team in Chicago is well beyond their prime. Why bring in worn out guys from Cincinnati or rejects from other banks? Marketing message constantly changing. Went from "we help you dream" (about what???) to now "we are curious" (about what???). The field turnover rate is huge. HQ is very cliquish.

Pros

Great team environment, perfect entry level career for anyone in college pursuing a role in finance.

Cons

Fifth Third Bank has been undergoing significant changes on its staffing as some regions currently have seen a lot of upward momentum in promotions and hiring for internal roles. Expect there to be a brief period of short staffing, depending on the branch you are hired for.

Pros

The training is very thorough and extensive. They take security seriously. You are supported when you’re a new hire. There are ways to be involved and feel included in the company. Information is readily available to help you.

Cons

It is a job that can lead to a lot of stress. It can be very fast paced. There are a lot of policies, procedures and information to remember. Should have proficient computer skills to be successful with this position..
