Pros

Work-life balance, easy interview process

Cons

-leadership, lack of diversity in C-suite, no 401k match, no camaraderie, no career growth, HR, does not value feedback Amalgamated Bank is a great choice for those who want to coast through their work. Leadership and career development are nonexistent. Despite its "progressive values", this bank does not practice what it preaches. AB fires employees readily and frequently based on personality fit and nothing legitimate. Because of this, employees are not willing to help one another. HR is nonexistent and not there to support its employees. If you are not a former 1199/SEIU employee, white, or have a relationship with Keith from someplace else, good luck getting ahead. Many employees are deeply unhappy and just going through the motions to reach retirement and cash in on their pension. Leadership cannot accept criticism and because of this, they will never recognize the reality of their poor work culture, nor improve it. AB is by far the worst place I have ever been employed.

Pros

They care about employees as shown by how their benefits are better than average because they are majority owned by labor unions

Cons

The usual problem of seniority as it pertains to selecting vacation days, comp time off etc. Most of the time RIP (rank has its privileges).
