Fifth Third Bank Employer Reviews

Fifth Third Bank purchased First National Bank. The working environment was not worker friendly. There was indifference to existing First National Bank employees.

My position was looked at as the blue collar workers of the company and we were basically treated like that. If we didn't like it, we could quit. It was easy to replace us

The company's expections were unreasonable because you could not work at a comfortable pace to avoid making errors in the system. They focused more on quantity rather than quality. Because of this the working environment was very stressful and dissatisfying. Was not a good place to work in my opinion.

Pressured to lie to customers about products that they "need" to up your sales. If you do not meet sales goals they fire you. I was able to exceed my goals each month however the guilt I had about it was horrible.

I was a drive thru teller all through my pregnancy at one of the busiest branches.

I have been told that if I say anything about what happened that I will have to give back the severence pay that I was given when I was laid off.

Good place to work
Thorough training
Good incentive program

As a personal banker for 5/3rd bank, I sale a variety of financial products to customers. Loans, checking and savings, mortgage, referrals to lines of business partners but mainly sales. I have learned a tremendous amount about the banking industry but I am not seeing room for advancement within the industry. I do not currently like what I do because – more...  it is not challenging. – less

Poor direcction, leadership and values because every emp is just a number.

Really pushy with sells, Lots of cold calling, tele marketing. Really old system.

Operations, – more...  making sure policies & procedures were implemented on day to day basis. Which involved monitoring branch cash levels, cash vault & atm as well as customer transactions, and passing audits with 95% or higher. – less

A lot of customer interaction. Able to do a lot of problem solving.

Fast track to middle management. No advancement as all potential jobs that would be considered promotions are only given to external candidates

Company focused on helping the clients, friendly and professional atmosphere.

I liked working for the organization and thought that they were very focused on the customer, stockholder, employee, and off-shore resources. It was a good place to work, from an IT standpoint. There were many interesting technical projects that were on going during my time there.

As with any organization, there are good to great managers that you – more...  come in contact with, my experience is no different. I have had some of the best managers in my Career while I was at Fifth Third, and witnessed others who struggle with the full demands of leading a group. – less

Super Regional bank headquartered out of Cincinnati. Going through some centralization of jobs currently to head office and eliminating some tenured positions.

Good solid financially stable company. Tough on wholesale Great for retail. Technology so/so

Overall Fifth Third Bank is a conservative institution. Its lending requirement are cautiously moderate and purposeful.

Nice place to work if you can deal with management promising one thing and but then doing something else. Loved my manager. Other managers before she came along seem to not care about the individuals. Certain individuals seem to have or receive special treatment.
