Pros

A bad job is better than no job.

Cons

Abysmally low pay, so-so benefits, advancement is based on politics and not on performance, managers will deliberately hold back good employees from promotion because they don’t want to go through the hassle of replacing them, branches closing and staffing is so thin that one vacation or sick person out for the day cripples business for the day.

Pros

Great team environment, perfect entry level career for anyone in college pursuing a role in finance.

Cons

Fifth Third Bank has been undergoing significant changes on its staffing as some regions currently have seen a lot of upward momentum in promotions and hiring for internal roles. Expect there to be a brief period of short staffing, depending on the branch you are hired for.
