Pros

You get banking experience at IBC.

Cons

Horrible, unorganized, unaware, UNETHICAL management. Management dedicates time only to the employees they choose to, yet they complain about the rest of the employees not meeting certain goals or knowing certain things. The pay is also ridiculously low even though they constantly pressure their employees to meet challenging sales goals. No other bank pays as low as IBC. Also, IBC management makes it clear that under no circumstance is an absence justified. If you have to go to the doctor or if you have an emergency, you will still get treated in a belittling way if you request a day off for these types of situations, and in the most cases, your request will be denied without hesitation. Upper management is constantly trying to intimidate employees and expecting employees to catch up with their unorganized methods. Because a lot of the employees at IBC are around 18-21 years old, management takes advantage of how easy it is to intimidate these young individuals who are just beginning to develop themselves and treat them how they want, so their main method of achieving sales goals is through intimidation of their employees. The worst part is the fact that management is aware of the unethical ways in which they treat employees because they constantly pressure employees not to complain to HR .

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).
