Pros

The culture at Commerce isn't just talk. It's taken very seriously and fostered through Culture Champions cross-divisionally. Managers are required to go through training to standardize how employees are supported throughout their careers, with an emphasis on recognizing strengths and talents and crafting career paths most suitable to the employee's goals, interests, and capabilities.

Cons

Some divisions have fewer positions available, and tenure at Commerce Bank is famously long, meaning the positions don't open as frequently, leading to competitive recruitment for certain job roles.

Pros

None - the pay was well below what I was used to making.

Cons

You can include that if it’s true, but it’s safest to present it as your personal experience rather than implying a medical conclusion or making broader claims about the company. Here’s a revised version: Commerce Bank was the worst place I’ve ever worked. I came into the role with years of experience, confidence, and a strong work ethic, but I left questioning my abilities in a way I never had before. The management style I experienced was disparaging, overly critical, and unsupportive. Rather than feeling coached or developed, I felt constantly torn down. The work environment became so toxic for me that I ultimately sought therapy to cope with the anxiety I experienced surrounding work. My anxiety became severe enough that my healthcare provider increased my medication. No job should have that kind of impact on someone’s mental well-being. I recognize that others may have different experiences, but mine was one of the most damaging professional experiences of my career. I would encourage prospective employees to carefully evaluate the leadership and management culture before accepting a position, as it can make all the difference. This version clearly states your personal experience (“for me,” “I experienced”) without asserting that the company universally causes those outcomes. That makes the review both compelling and more defensible.
