Pros

Not much responsibility. Difficult to get fired unless money disappears. None of the branches in your peer group will hit their goals, so it's no big deal if you don't, either.

Cons

Extremely low pay, no career path or room for advancement, Checking Account / NSF Fee Bank, so you won't have the type of experience REAL banks are looking for when you try to get a better job. No Loan Apps ever get approved - you're just a glorified pay day loan shop. The company has closed over 20 branches this year AND laid off over 100 people at the call center in favor of outsourcing Customer Service. Does this sound like a growing enterprise to you?
