Of all the banks I have worked for this is the least stressful environment
Cons
No way to increase my position, low pay. The only other position available position would be a personal banker which requires being a mortgage loan officer.

Thank you for your post and feedback. The reality of lower transactions in branches is that we are cross training more to offer more opportunities.
Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.
Cons
Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
