- Very aggressive sales environment, more concerned with numbers than finding appropriate products for customer needs - Micro-management - multiple conference calls throughout the day to report production and points (not "what have you done for me lately?" but "what have you done for me in the last four hours?") - Lack of training - bankers only complete one week of teller training before they are sent to their branch and are expected to sell, so unless there is an experienced individual in the branch you will flounder until you teach yourself - The many opportunities for advancement seem to come from the high turnover rate
