Pros

Easy interview, they will hire anyone.

Cons

This company/bank achieves a new level of micro-management. Managers are involved too much on your day-to-day operations, they want to know everything you are working on, down to email communications. Weekly timesheets need to be accurate by 15 minutes, failure to do so will have long-term consequences. Managers look for excuses to make you feel bad and no reward is given for good work. Unnecessary attention to detail, small workpaper mistakes gets written-up. You are either average, below average, or a failure. There is no above average or excellent. Avoid is company at all costs.

Hello and thank you for your service with Commerce. In the audit department, documentation and metrics are always going to play a large part in your day to day work. Micromanagement, however, should not. Unfortunately, there are times when our managers must take extra care to work with employees to improve their performance and since our audit department has higher than average engagement score, we are happy to report this is not often the case. We appreciate your feedback and would like to talk more about what you are experiencing. Please email us at jobs@commercebank.com to discuss. Thank you for your review and we look forward to hearing more details from you.
