Likes

SBI is India's premier public sector Bank giving competition to private players like HDFC and Axis. It was an honor to be associated with such a reputed institution. The job security is great. Customer interfacing, communication skills, on the spot dynamic thinking, on the go technical learning and adaptability to any situation -these are what i learnt from my work as a clerical staff.

Dislikes

...mma, between not taking promotion and remaining stagnant in same role for years. The pay is decent, there are concessions on loans, medical facilities etc but the salary revision happens only once in 5/6 years after numerous union strikes. Passing JAIIB, CAIIB exams, Annual increment and promotion are the only way you can increase your income. Rest is at the mercy of IBA settlement.

Worklife balance is close to zero. Managers have little time to spent with family after work. Associates are discouraged from taking leaves even during time of urgency. Dearth of employees.

...ly banker to every Indian. One gain experience in handling all kind of customer. Good Salary package compared to any other banking and financial institutions. Respect and status is incomparable. Tough but worth for career oriented candidates.

Dislikes

Challenges before a women employee and men is not the same in our society. Not every family support working women. To spread their wings and fulfill their dreams they faces many many hurdles. We cannot have rigid and common transfer policy for everyone. I have seen many women employee resigning due to this reason including me. Having work life balance is difficult for officer particularly.
