Pros
Fifth Third is aggresively growing at the moment and it's always exciting to a part of a company that is aggresively growing especially when many other banks are downsizing. Fifth Third also has a long history and culture dating back 150 years. We've been around a long time and plan on being around. We recently marked our 150th year in busines on May 3, 2008, appropriately titled Fifth Third Day.
Kontras
As with any organization that is aggresively growing there are some growing pains. For instance, I feel that Fifth Third has not budgeted as much money towards technology as my previous employer, SunTrust bank, did. Some of our technology is archaic and almost embarassing to use in front of customers. In addition because I work in a relatively new market of the company which is in florida and most of our back office operations are based out of the midwest, Cincinnati, I feel as though many reps that I talk to in resolving customer issues don't understand the average customer that I deal with on a day to day basis.
