Pros
Compensates better than comparable institutions for similar jobs and has higher job security.
Cons
Heavily bureaucratic. Intellectually stifling. Dogmatic, unverifiable, and warrantless pressure to (1) sell as many financial products as possible (mostly impossible), (2) conform to dehumanizing standards of communication (i.e. use a script) Job description: I stand (or sit if I’m lucky) around waiting for the day to end while occasionally helping negative net worth individuals conduct simple financial transactions. Once in a while, I am ordered to comply with random directives such as greeting customers with a script that remains constant or trying to sell “interest bearing checking accounts” with negative real returns almost equal to the rate of inflation in magnitude.
