Culture needs a lot of fixing.

Pros

Some genuinely amazing and kind people work here who are values-first and love what they do. Loose dress code, hybrid environment. Pension vests after only 5 years.

Cons

There are a lot of racist higher-ups and HR is not on your side. Executive teams rife with Boomer mindset, barely anything gets done, and stressful environment with critical teams not getting any hires or support. Not many opportunities for growth. People are saddled with 10 jobs and many teams are juggling responsibilities back and forth, with no one taking accountability. Some people are snakes and talk behind your back, making it hostile for POC and women.

Pros

The pay is decent and they are effective at making employees believe they are a fair and unbiased institution who believes in building and developing their employees.

Cons

It is difficult to grow and develop at AB; it is near impossible to transfer to other areas and you get "stuck" in one area. AB does not value loyalty and they do not respect all the hard work ne by their dedicated employees AB uses "Disreputable "Ageism" tactics to push out older employees CIGNA health insurance is EXPENSIVE

Toxic and Hostile Work Environment – Stay Away!

Pros

There are no pros to working at this place

Cons

I work at Amalgamated Bank and it is one of the most toxic experiences of my career. Management fosters a culture of fear, where employees are constantly micromanaged, belittled, and overworked without recognition. Any feedback or concerns about workload, harassment, or unfair treatment are either ignored or met with retaliation. Supervisors openly play favorites, creating a divisive and uncomfortable atmosphere. HR is completely useless—if you report an issue, expect it to be brushed under the rug or, worse, turned against you. Morale is at an all-time low, and the turnover rate is proof that people can’t wait to escape. If you value your mental health and professional growth, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This company does not care about its employees, only about squeezing as much work out of them as possible before they inevitably burn out and quit. Avoid at all costs! Also the CEO is no longer Keith but rather it is Priscilla Sims-Brown
