Pros

Great corporate culture, and its easy to create a great team dynamic within your branch.

Cons

Upper leadership within the districts is horrible. They're condescending and don't genuinely care about their peers or subordinates. They actively try to stop bankers or branch employees from applying for corporate promotions to keep them in the branches, so employees end up quitting and then they blame the branch management.

Pros

A growing company is an exciting place to work, and you have to be able to embrace the ambiguity that comes with change. Associated Bank has a great reputation and brand locally and regionally, with competitive pay, excellent benefits, and flexible work with modern offices in a central downtown location. The culture is energetic and ambitious, driven by intentional core values. Colleagues are helpful and friendly, and leadership is competent and inspiring. I am proud to work at a bank that is so invested in the community, has significant sports and arts partnerships, and is committed to inclusion and belonging. The dedication to process, planning and results is very strong in the marketing organization.

Cons

Recently implemented a flexible 3-day/week RTO for most new corporate employees, so in-office life is still finding a rhythm. Parking is convenient but expensive. Projects and day-to-day work tend to be process-heavy, and there are opportunities to streamline platforms and tools for more agility and better productivity. Would benefit from more in-office perks like huddle/quiet rooms for focus and productivity, relaxed collaboration spaces that encourage engagement, treadmill desks, etc.
