Working at Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, OH: 36 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Cincinnati, OH Area

"The management here is not very qualified. Does not work with employees and has lack of experience. He thinks he knows it all and will not take the time to learn. I have been with company 15 years and I have never been so disgusted as I am now with this company. Their HR dept is the worst as well. And I have to say, they can't give you the raise you deserve but they sure can find ways to throw money away. (For example: we had HD tv installed throughout building to keep up to date info and within a year they all were taken down. So where did the TV's go) Plus you can see as plain as day if you suck up to management you will become a VP or AVP just so you can get more money. One dept within mine has 10 employees and of them 5 are officers. For 70 employees we have 14 managers. Of those 14, 4 flirt and are unprofessional managers - you see the action right in front of you. This one I love - who just happens to be mine watches the REDS game on the computer and if you have an issue you have to wait until there is a break. He will not say why he is unable to help but if you go to his desk sure enough he is laid back listening away. And the sad part is the VP's office is right next to his and I bet he doesn't even know. My box is packed and that day is coming close and it is a shame that they make me so unhappy that I am just about to walk out."

"I have worked for Fifth Third since 2010. It has been a stable company with rapid growth in the mortgage department. They over staffed to compensate for the low mortgage rates and are now laying off. They provide a lot of training both mandatory and voluntary. It is a good company to work for with good benefits. The management has changed several times in the past few years. The mortgage operations system is very out dated with a lot of work arounds required. They are very conservative."
