Pros

Good coworkers, not a busy bank

Cons

1.) Your voice will not be heard-- if you are hoping to work at a branch close to home, prepared to be disappointed. They will put you wherever they want regardless of how inconvenient it is for you. 2.) Unrealistic goals for tellers & sales. Not a busy enough bank for the goals they expect you to meet in account generation & referrals. Be prepared to feel pressure to perform. They will ask you to use your own car to run around to other businesses to sell accounts. You will sit on the phone trying to get info out of customers to see what products you can sell them. Not enough marketing to bring new customers in. 3.) No transparency. You will be scheduled to arrive at 8:15am, but asked to attend meetings starting at 8am. They will ask you to come in to monitor system updates some Sundays. They will tell managers one thing and teller/sales another reagarding goals and penalties. They will give you the "option" to become cross-trained from teller to sales and vice versa, and then threaten your job if you decline. 4.) There are loopholes to many of the benefits they offer to you. The health insurance they offer is terrible, the lowest quality plan possible. They cut corners! 5.) Conservative CEO will rant about politics at work events.

Pros

IBC offers a fun, low stress environment. Management gets along well with frontline employees and always has celebrations for employees.

Cons

Could be low pay but it’s an entry level job and gives you the opportunity to move up.

Pros

You could make really good friends....

Cons

GARBAGE pay for such a high-responsibility position. You’re doing way more than a regular teller, but the compensation does not reflect the workload at all. They advertise “competitive pay,” but every other bank in my area starts on average $4–$5 higher. The only “extra” compensation is micro bonuses for CC referrals, account openings (SALES ONLY — $7 per MAX POINT account), and JDP surveys, ranging from $25–$35 per successful one—good luck consistently hitting those. Be ready for long lines, nonstop pressure, and constant feedback about metrics and performance. It’s a high-stress environment that does not match the pay level. Once you’re cross-trained, expect to be doing the work of both a teller and a sales role while receiving none of the benefits of the sales point system that is supposedly used to justify the structure. Use this job as a stepping stone into banking, but don’t treat it as a long-term option—it’s not worth the stress. Across the industry and even locally, compensation is noticeably higher for similar or even less demanding roles. There’s no real rush or clear structure for advancement, but at least with the periodic mass layoffs used to cut costs and reset staffing back to lower pay levels, there’s technically opportunity to move up during turnover… (you still might be the one getting let go anyway).
