Associated Bank reviews

Corporate brass is obsessed with "efficiency". This obsession has caused them to adopt completely unrealistic expectations of what humans are capable of producing in 8 hours... Perhaps they've forgotten that people need to use the bathroom, take a mental break and have lunch at some point throughout the day. In addition to higher production expectations, the company decreased appreciation programs such as annual banquet celebrations and awards for top performers to a literally non existent level. This company has severe communication issues between itself and its customers as well. They value what they call "transparency" which as far as I can tell translates to "keep it a secret". This applies to fees, product and policy changes, etc. I'll never be a customer here, especially after having been forced to open an account if I wanted to continue to receive my direct deposit.

-Upper management plays favorites. It is a 'good ol boys club' -If you quit before you earn what PTO you use it gets deducted from your last check. -They charge you a big fee when you roll over your 401k after you leave the company -Pay is a joke. People were amazed when I told them I only made 12.50 an hour with an unattainable bonus structure and horribly strict merit increase policy. My wife was a TELLER at a local credit union and got 3 raises a year and profit sharing and ended up making 14 an hour as a teller while I was still at 12.50 an hour for the first 2 and a half years.
